Intern - Service Delivery

Intern - Service Delivery

We are excited to announce an opening for the role of Intern - Service Delivery at our nonprofit organization, which is dedicated to shaping the future of mental health. This role offers an opportunity to contribute to the dissemination of Shamiri's mental health solutions to tens of thousands of Kenyan youths. By working towards ensuring that we are able to deliver efficient, effective programming, the intern plays a role in our organization's mission to enable African youths to thrive by making mental health interventions accessible.

About the role:

The Intern will work closely with the Deputy Directors and Associates on the dissemination of our mental health solutions to Kenyan high school youths. This will involve being part of recruitment processes to engage schools and applicants to our three-tier caregiving model (crucial in reaching as many youths as we can) and monitoring partnerships with other organizations to disseminate our solutions. Throughout their internship, projects are likely to be at different stages from long-term planning to on-the-ground overseeing of delivery. This will allow the Intern to have a well-rounded experience in project management at different stages of a project lifecycle.

Roles and responsibilities:

• Take part in managing all partnership-driven implementation efforts. 
• Take part in guidance and customer support provision to Shamiri partners throughout implementation of the Shamiri program.

• Provide implementation support for Shamiri programs in line with the Organization’s strategic plan. 
• Participate in training, workshops, and supervision sessions organized by the Service Delivery Team or the Shamiri Institute. 
• Take part in any other duties allocated as deemed appropriate to the Supervisor.
