Join the 7 Cups Internship Program! (Archived)
Please view the updated post here
The 7 Cups Academy is a tuition-free institution that trains members, listeners, and researchers to develop skills and better care for our community. These are professional skills that are of great use even outside 7 Cups. We believe in practice-driven learning and all of our courses have in-field experience at the core.
How is 7 Cups Academy different from training guides or other educational material available at 7 Cups?
The academy programs target specific skills like leadership, content development, etc. Trainees not only get theoretical knowledge of the subject but also spend time practicing the skills under our practicum opportunities.
That is not all, one of the challenging parts of learning something new is that it can be an isolating experience and at times you may feel like the motivation is fading. At 7 Cups Academy, we understand your support needs. We have mentors who check in with you regularly to help you navigate the set of requirements and to offer support and encouragement.
Additionally, we believe in a student-led approach. Feedback from our trainees results in constant improvements to the program’s coursework and structure. An example of this is our launch of group check-ins where academy trainees can connect with fellow trainees and share experiences.

Wondering much time it takes? 5 hours per week on average for a minimum of 6 weeks (more if you choose more). It is self-paced
@Hope
Is the 5 hours a week at a set time or is this at our own pace.
@GettingbettertodayHi there today! ^~^ Thank you for the question! The programs are self paced🤍 you decide at what time and what day you want to focus on achieving your requirements!
@Hope
You post says that you can be a member to participate but the first question on the application is "When did you join 7 Cups as a listener". There is no option for not or never a listener.
@Gettingbettertoday Hello Today, you can be a member to participate in academy programs but the internship program is open only for listeners. I am sorry about that. You can sign up as a listener to enroll yourself in the course.
Yes when do I start.
I am just a click away.Xx
@Hope Thank you for letting us know! This sounds like a great opportunity, is there a way I can archive/star this post so that I can return to this opportunity at a later stage when things by me are a little less chaotic? I would love to try this internship, but I am currently swamped.
