There are many ways to get involved with TWLOHA, but for those who want the message of hope and help to grow them professionally and personally, nothing compares to our internship. Our interns are invited to join us in learning how to live lives that are open and honest, and to live in community while working passionately to present hope and help to those struggling with depression, addiction, self-injury and suicide.
We love the freshness, creativity and compassion our interns bring to work every day. They help us keep the office running and assist us in almost everything we do. We know how vital our interns are in keeping the movement alive. Are you interested in joining us?
WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR
We are looking for people who are flexible, creative, hard-working, and passionate about the movement. We also want people who like to have fun and who aren't afraid to ask hard questions and think outside the box – people who are open-minded and willing to meet the needs of the organization, whatever those may be. Please review the information regarding intern responsibilities, dates, requirements and the application process.

International Applicants: We do accept international applicants! If you are selected for an internship, our Intern Coordinator will help you work out visa and travel documents. Please DO NOT apply for any type of visa before you have alerted the Intern Coordinator. It is imperative to have the process for a passport underway by the time of application, or to already have a passport to ensure travel to the U.S.
HOW TO APPLY
The internship application has two parts, 1) a video application and 2) an online application and resume. You will want to read the video application instructions and create your video first.
Once you’ve completed your video, you can begin the online application and resume. Consider the online application like a first impression; we want to get a sense of who you are and what is unique about you, so just be yourself and know that we want to see YOU, not who you think we’re looking for. Please note, you are not able to save and return to the application, so we suggest gathering all your references before you begin. We look forward to receiving your application!
