The Positivly team is looking for a Community Resource Intern to strengthen and expand our resource directory. You'll work alongside Positivly's Executive Director to expand our current resource directory, complete community resource audits, and develop new community relationships. You will work alongside the Positivly team to build upon the previously developed resource directory and community relation resource.

😊 About Positivly

Positivly is a new platform developed for high school students that helps to reduce the access barriers to mental health resources. Rates of anxiety, depression, and suicide have almost doubled in the last ten years, and our schools are in crisis mode in responding to their students' needs. The app fights the barriers created by stigma through shared stories about mental health, and trusted staff at a school curates the content. Positiv.ly also closes the gap between students and professional community resources through a hyper-local directory with vetted professional services.

Positivly is the first spinout of Ascend Innovation's startup studio. Ascend is a technology company that provides data-driven products and consulting services to help organizations solve complex community health problems. Formed by the Greater Dayton Area Hospital Association and three major hospital networks (Premier Health, Kettering Health, and Dayton Children's), Ascend is positioned to serve communities to address their most complex health problems, including mental health.
