Job Description

The Coaching Apprenticeship Associate Program is a structured, intensive 1-year pathway designed for individuals who want to deeply learn, integrate, and apply Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills. This role is well-suited for anyone looking to master these frameworks for their own personal development, or to become a more effective coach, leader, or communicator.

‍

Associates in this program undergo our formal coach training curriculum, participate in weekly consultation loops, and progress from program immersion to actively co-leading live group curriculums. Additionally, Associates play an active role in our digital community ecosystem by facilitating discussions, managing forum engagement, and helping build our library of real-world DBT applications.

‍

Reporting

To support development across both coaching delivery and digital platform management, Associates operate within a dual-reporting matrix:

‍

• Digital Forum Operations & Community Engagement: Reports directly to the Head of Community for all responsibilities regarding online workspace moderation, discussion curation, and community platform dynamics.
• Coaching Delivery & Training Fidelity: Reports directly to Alicia for all matters pertaining to coaching training execution, protocol adherence, and performance.

Requirements

1. Coaching Path & Training Progression

• Active Platform Presence: Maintain a consistent, daily presence within the online student and alumni communities to facilitate ongoing discussions.

‍

‍2. Online Community Participation

‍

• DBT Question Generation: Proactively post any questions you can think of regarding DBT skills application within the community forums. This serves as a core learning mechanism, allowing leadership to respond publicly with the correct, protocol-adherent DBT approach.
• Coach Training Curriculum: Complete our comprehensive coach training program to master platform-specific coaching frameworks.
• Weekly Consultation: Participate actively in mandatory weekly consultation team meetings to review group dynamics, ensure alignment, and receive ongoing feedback.
• Program Immersion (Round 1): Participate in and experience a full, standard round of the DBT Skills Group program to build a foundational understanding of the curriculum.
• Co-Leadership Progression (Round 2): Advance to formally co-lead a subsequent full round of the DBT Skills Group program alongside a mentor coach.

Qualifications

• A strong, demonstrated interest in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and a desire to deeply integrate these skills into your life or professional practice (prior background in DBT is welcome but not required).
• Exceptional written communication skills, with the ability to translate psychological principles into clear, conversational, and non-judgmental forum responses.
• High degree of emotional intelligence, empathy, and strong boundaries appropriate for virtual educational environments.
• Strong organizational habits necessary to successfully balance the dual tracks of live program participation and asynchronous online community management.
