The 7 Cups internship program provides participants with the unique experience of giving back to those in need while gaining in-field experience. Even if you are not from the mental health field, it gives you the opportunity to gain professional experience by working through a structured program, improving listening, communication, time management and many such skills.

The program is designed to help you become a strong leader. It includes both theoretical and practical components and is spread over 8 weeks. It takes a personal approach and starts with helping you identify and build upon your natural gifts and strengths. There is a learning by doing practical component where you practice what you learn by serving in a community domain alongside other leaders in either the engagement or quality programs.

Is designed to help you understand the communication and leadership behavior of individuals within group structures. The theoretical and practical knowledge are used to explore the stages of group development, decision making techniques, group dynamics, group problem and solving, group leadership skills, cultural sensitivity, norms and the intra and inter personal dynamics within groups.

The Quality Listening Program is a comprehensive study of active listening components ranging from a refresher on basics to extensive training in advanced active listening components that can help trainees develop a more proactive listening approach by working with the members to create and implement support plans.

The current program focuses on teaching writing tips and social media content creation practices to help generate and shape valued content to be used to aid mental health awareness and support, both at 7 Cups and for any personal projects/opportunities interested trainees may participate in. The program utilizes practical tasks and assignments to combine learned and personal strengths-based skills and lead to experience and contribution within the 7 Cups community.
