Internship in social media at krisenchat Ukrainian (d/m/f)

krisenchat is a psychosocial counseling service in German for children and young people up to 25 years of age via Whatsapp, SMS, 24/7.

krisenchat Ukrainian extends this offer to people of all ages who are affected by the war in Ukraine and need counseling in Ukrainian or Russian.

We are not a long-term therapy, but see ourselves as a crisis intervention. Professional counselors offer an empathic, open ear to discuss with the affected people in a solution-oriented way what they can do to support in that exact moment.

We organize ourselves via Slack - an app/website where only people involved in the project can communicate. A professional counseling team is available in the background for questions and training. We are an appreciative and engaged community and help each other to constantly develop our services.

krisenchat was founded for the Corona pandemic and draws on experience from over 50,000 chat consultations.

We are looking for motivated Ukrainian speaking interns who are interested in supporting krisenchat Ukrainian in our journey with a minimum of 15 hours per week for at least 6 weeks. Since we are a platform for psychological counseling, this position is highly applicable for psychology students.

You will work within a highly motivated and agile team on an innovative, non-profit project with high growth potential, which you can help to shape. Flat hierarchies and a value-based team understanding are just as important to us as an open communication culture. We offer you interesting and varied work tasks with a high degree of self-organization.

We are looking forward to getting to know you. Even if you don't recognize yourself 100% above, write us about why we should get to know you anyway. What is most important to us at krisenchat at the end of the day is always the honest and visible motivation to get going and help with the further development of the project - a high level of motivation, initiative and the will to make a difference can make up for a lack of skills or experience.

krisenchat values diversity.

We want to encourage people who have experienced discrimination in the past because of national or ethnic origin, age, religion, disability, gender, gender identity or sexual orientation to apply at krisenchat.
