Volunteer Intern Lead/Mentor

Volunteer Intern Lead / Mentor

Change Creators Foundation (CCF) is a growing nonprofit organization focused on creating opportunities for meaningful change that can impact individuals, families, communities, and future generations.

Our work is centered around education, prevention, community programming, and helping address patterns and experiences that can continue from one generation to the next. We believe meaningful change can happen at multiple levels, from supporting individuals, to working with groups and communities, to developing programs and systems that create a broader impact.

As CCF has grown, we have also become a nonclinical internship placement for BSW and MSW social work students. Our interns gain hands-on experience across micro, mezzo, and macro practice, including nonclinical support and education, community programming, group development, outreach, research, program development, nonprofit operations, organizational planning, and community partnerships.

We are currently looking for a mental health or helping professional who would be interested in volunteering approximately 4 to 5 hours per month as an Intern Lead/Mentor.

What You Would Do

This person would serve as an additional support and leadership presence for our interns. Depending on your experience and interests, this may include:

*Mentoring and supporting BSW and MSW interns

*Helping interns think through projects, challenges, and professional development

*Supporting interns as they develop leadership and professional skills

*Helping interns understand how their work connects to micro, mezzo, and macro practice

*Sharing your own professional, nonprofit, community, or leadership experience

*Providing an additional person interns can go to for guidance and support

*Collaborating with the Internship Program Director as the internship program continues to grow

This is not a clinical supervision role, and the overall internship program and social work-specific field requirements will continue to be overseen by an LCSW.

This Could Be a Great Opportunity If You:

• Work primarily in clinical or direct practice and would like exposure to nonprofit work, community programming, program development, or organizational leadership
• Already have nonprofit, community, program development, leadership, or mentoring experience and would like to use that experience to support developing professionals
• Enjoy teaching, mentoring, and helping students grow professionally
• Are a social worker who may be interested in becoming involved in student supervision or field education in the future and would like experience mentoring interns now, with the potential to take on a larger role with future internship cohorts
• Want meaningful leadership and mentorship experience without committing to a large number of volunteer hours

Time Commitment

Approximately 4 to 5 hours per month, with some flexibility depending on the needs of the internship program and your availability.

Because this role is focused on mentorship, leadership, and intern development rather than clinical services, much of the work may be able to be completed virtually.

Who We Are Looking For

We are open to professionals from a variety of helping professions, including social workers, counselors, therapists, psychologists, marriage and family therapists, and professionals with relevant nonprofit, community, education, or leadership experience.

Most importantly, we are looking for someone who enjoys working with students, values mentorship, communicates well, and wants to contribute to the growth of both our interns and our organization.

If you are interested in learning more about nonprofit work yourself, already have experience you would like to share, or are interested in developing your skills as a mentor or future supervisor, we would love to hear from you.
