Intern - Service Delivery at Shamiri Institute

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.
