NOTE: If you are applying after April 30th, 2024, your application will be considered for the next cohort, which is scheduled for July, as our current slots are filled.
Are you interested in taking on a new challenge to grow your facilitation skills and support your peers in doing good better? Or are you an experienced group coach/therapist?
We [at Rethink Wellbeing] are excited to announce we have lots of groups planned to run throughout the next few months to help people in the EA community to grow their mental resilience and productivity. We’d love your support in facilitating them.
We’re looking for facilitators for groups of 5 participants, running 2 hours sessions per week for 8 weeks. You will also spend approximately 8 hours in total preparing. This is an opportunity to donate your time as a contribution to the community's wellbeing. If you study psychology, you can run multiple groups and have this as your official part-time or fill-time internship!
No experience is required in these modalities! It is appreciated, though. Some experience in group facilitation is necessary. We will support you along the way.
What the role involves:
As the facilitator, your role will not be to teach the group but rather support the structure and running of the group, allowing the peers to use evidence-based materials and use discussions to share learnings. As a facilitator, this is an amazing opportunity for self development and to support your community.
Before the program (< 10 hours)
- Study the facilitator guide, and related materials.
- Set everything up for the sessions.
- Welcome participants.
- Complete basic training.
- Join the facilitator community.
For 8 weeks during the program (4-6 hours p/w):
- Prepare for the group discussions by reading the learning materials; this takes ~1-2 hours p/w, depending on how familiar you are with the content already.
- Facilitate weekly discussions for your cohort of 5 participants. This takes about 2 hours p/w.
- Submit facilitator feedback/ a session summary, and review peer feedback from each session ( ~ 15 mins per session).
How we will support you:
We will:
- Provide the materials, guides, and a facilitator training.
- Be available to talk with you about how your sessions are going and to offer advice or feedback.
- Give you access to our network of facilitators and experts: get and give feedback and advice.
- Run a pre-post-evaluation which will track the improvement of peers in your group.
- Give you a training certificate in the end.
