Friends,

The curriculum we have carefully developed over two decades is now more relevant than ever. As a result we’ve had tremendous exposure, feedback and press celebrating the effectiveness of our work. The head of the top mental health program in the U.S. said our program was years ahead and the best he is aware of. A senior government official in health and human services said it’s the most comprehensive offering she has seen. Due to being featured in The New York Times, CNN, Vogue, Joe Rogan, People Magazine and more, we have over 500 organizations asking to use our program.

We are growing dramatically and are looking to hire a number of these positions. Due to our 22 years of experience in human development, our Foundation has been inundated with requests to help companies, nonprofits and government agencies with their emotional and mental health. Our organization is perfectly positioned to meet this growing demand, but we need to raise the funds to increase our staff and prepare our program for scale.

1. Create your own Custom Internship for the Summer or help any of the job roles listed above.

Summer Interns may create a business plan and execute on their projects with the guidance of Ryan, Max and Trent. If an intern would like to work on current projects, they may do that as well.

Our internship is designed to give young adults a working environment that is infused with an emphasis on wellbeing. This wellbeing is the foundation of their productivity. We offer interns the same healing and growth opportunities we provide to our youth. 

As part of our project-driven learning program, interns can choose any role in the foundation they are passionate about. Interns are then assigned a mentor and become a significant part of our team.

Interns develop professional skills while working on their own personal growth to make their work-life integration as harmonious as possible. Our premise is that by taking a whole human approach to growth, interns become more engaged, passionate and productive in their work.

Our hope is to provide interns with inspirational work, opportunities for personal and professional growth, and a collection of meaningful experiences and relationships.

For those interested, please email us. Include your vision for the summer, desired areas for personal and professional growth as well as the amount of money you need to make. As a nonprofit, funds are limited but we do issue a few college scholarships at the end. We can also provide housing, transportation & meals for those in need.

The internship can be full-time, taking place during normal business hours each day, or it can be intertwined with your tennis training and worked on a flexible schedule. Internship opportunities within the Foundation include:

1. Create your own Custom Internship for the Summer

You’ll have the opportunity to create your very own custom internship based on your interests and passions. We will ask you to present a business plan for what you’d like to do and how it will impact your life, as well as how it will benefit the Foundation as a whole.

2. JOY - A Mental Health Summit

This will be the Foundation’s newest fundraiser in collaboration with key partners and various influencers within our network. It will showcase what we do for mental health, as well as raise funds and awareness for our organization. We are looking to host this at Lake Las Vegas and bring a variety of leaders together for the ultimate weekend of physical, mental and emotional health.

3. INSPIRE Water

INSPIRE Water will be an eco-friendly aluminum water bottle designed to inspire those consuming the product, with 100% of the proceeds benefiting the Foundation. Phase 1 will include product design, Phase 2 will be production and Phase 3 will be selling and distribution.

4. Grant Writing

We are seeking help with grant writing opportunities. This person will need to be responsible for managing documents and timelines, and have an interest in writing clearly and concisely with great grammar. We have a master list of organizations that we can apply for and need help with execution.

We have a great opportunity to document our processes and deliver our curriculum to partnering organizations that would like to replicate aspects of what we do around the country. This would include R&D, writing, organization and development.

There will be many working parts for this trip from organizing group warm-ups, team meals, hotel rooms, coaching and mentoring for the trip. We will arrive a couple of days early to acclimate to the high altitude. Play will last 5 days. Chaperones should expect long days and lots of driving and taking care of our players. It's a fun trip, and a lot of work, but very rewarding.

This includes taking a leadership role in helping oversee the Summer Interns and being involved with administration, marketing, publishing, social media, digital, events & communication.

9. Donor Relations & Fundraising Coordinator

We have countless donors that support our organization, but we don’t have the time or resources to follow up, thank them for their support, share our success stories and continue to engage them. This is a great communication opportunity for those that enjoy dealing with people.

This position will be able to do video production and editing for a variety of outlets, including our social media channels, plus our Twitch and JewelNeverBroken.com sites.

11. Jewel Never Broken Website Journalist and Podcast

12. NECKER CUP Marketing, Auction and Donor Relations

This is a big project. We are in charge of the charity component of the Necker Cup and therefore will be working on this project all summer. Those working on this project will have special consideration for attending next year's Necker Cup, although it is not guaranteed.

13. INSPIRE HOUSE on Twitch

This online community provides physical, mental and emotional health programming to the masses for free, and has reached over 1.7 million people in the last year. Programming includes daily mental health talks, check-ins, yoga led by alumni, music and meaningful talks led by Jewel, and much more.
