@Crazycompassion

Hey.

An intern will spend a minimum of 10 hours per week of listening to members in 1-1 chats (minimum 8 weeks in total) - you can choose more if you want to.

Besides that, the intern will need to become an active member in our community, completing all trainings that are provided for listeners, become a group moderator and offer support in the chatrooms as well, do offline outreach and spread the word about 7 cups in his city & many other awesome things! We are offering great support to all interns, as each of them will have a mentor (just as new listeners have) & will have access to a special section in the forums and a chatroom just for them!

This internship requires commitment, patience, proactivity and passion to listen to members. Hope this answers your question. Feel free to ask more if you want to!

Find more info HERE. If you still are confused, PM me or @Eunoia.

I am interested in becoming a listener, however I do suffer from depression and anxiety myself but I find helping others helps me.

Would this be an issue???

@Soph98

Nope, not an issue. It is up to you to decide what is comfortable for you and what is not. You can always give listening a try & see how it goes. If you find that it's not right for you, you can put your acct on hold and come back when you are ready. :)

@Laura I'd really love to try this but I just got a fulltime job for the summer. I'm just worried that if I apply I might not have enough time to actually complete it...

@DancingSkies

Hey! It's okay, it's good to know your priorities. The internship doesn't allow breaks so it might be best to apply when you know you can dedicate at least 8 weeks of work for it. It is flexible but it requires dedication and love, just as a job! Good luck with your current stuff!!!
