Description:
Miracle Youth Productions (MYP), a youth-led nonprofit providing applied education through the arts, is seeking a Psychology Mentor / Subject Matter Expert (SME) to help us shape youth programs that are emotionally supportive, developmentally appropriate, and impactful.

What You’ll Do:

• Consult with MYP leadership and students on youth psychology and mental wellness.

• Mentor students working on program development, offering input on emotional and developmental alignment.

• Help integrate strategies that build self-esteem, social connection, and purpose.

• Support creation of tools for assessing program effectiveness in terms of psychological impact.

Why Volunteer With Us?

• Mentor with Purpose: Help young people lead meaningful initiatives that serve their generation.

• Collaborate Broadly: Work with educators, artists, businesses, and nonprofits across the community.

• Drive Real Change: Help create a replicable model of emotionally intelligent youth programming.

Ideal Candidate:

• Licensed psychologist, therapist, counselor, or advanced graduate student.

• Knowledgeable in adolescent psychology, youth development, or trauma-informed practices.

• Eager to guide and empower student-led program design.

Background Check Notice:
In accordance with California’s AB506 law, all volunteers working directly with students will be required to pass a background check.
