4.Kenwood Therapy Center Seeking Volunteer Intake Support
Kenwood Therapy Center is a highly regarded, innovative, 12-therapist, multidisciplinary clinic and training center in Minneapolis, MN. We are currently offering a volunteer opportunity for individuals to do confidential phone intakes and referrals, insurance benefit checks, and scheduling. This is a chance to speak to real people about real problems, and will provide context to further positions and graduate work. Experience, comfort, compassion, maturity, good judgment, and interest in working with clients with emotional, relational, sexual, and other serious life issues is important. This position provides the opportunity for immersion in the daily life of the clinic, as well as research and evaluation, so additional supportive tasks will be assigned as needed. Ideal for upperclassman student or individual contemplating going on to graduate school in Psychology, Sociology, Family Therapy, or other mental health fields; or someone interested in general work in a mental health and family therapy clinic. At this dynamic, innovative center, opportunities for your role to evolve are abundant. Past volunteers have eventually assisted with group therapy sessions, taken session notes for therapists, and some have continued on to be hired for a paid position here at the Kenwood Center. Students and volunteers will be given opportunities for on-going training and supervision with experienced staff and therapists. Hours requested are Saturdays, 9 am - 3 pm. We are looking for someone to start ASAP! If you are interested, please email a letter with a bit of your experience and interest to info@kenwoodcenter.org or call (612) 377-9190, ext. 1.
