Voice Up LCSW Program Manager - Founding Team 100% Remote

Licensed Social Work Program Manager — Founding Team

100% Remote

Proactive Safety Net & Community Impact Public Health Startup

Role Overview

This is a founding-level leadership opportunity within an emerging public health startup building a new model for preventative behavioral health and workforce development.

The Licensed Social Work Program Manager will lead and supervise a cohort of 10–15 interns implementing a structured, community-based model that shifts the field:

From reactive intervention

To proactive, purpose-driven human development

This role is ideal for a licensed social worker ready to step beyond traditional systems and help build a scalable solution that supports individuals before crisis occurs.

Time Commitment

Minimum: 2 hours per week

Flexible, with opportunity to grow involvement as the program scales

Compensation (Equity-Based)

This is an early-stage startup role.

Primary compensation: Equity ownership in the company and program

Opportunity to join the founding team

Direct influence on long-term strategy and national scale

This is not a salaried role at this stage

It is an opportunity to build and own part of a transformative public health system

Why This Work Matters

Behavioral health systems face workforce shortages, but the core issue is not a lack of people—it is a lack of clear pathways connecting lived experience to meaningful roles.

This model addresses the “Naming Gap”—the missing link between experience, purpose, and action

Within just 15 months, under minimal funding and no incentives, the model has demonstrated:

2,900+ participants across 900+ cities

5,000+ structured program engagements

Integration into MPH and MSW programs within accredited institutions

Active use within credit-bearing internship and practicum structures across the U.S.

27 verified producers creating real-world, institutionally adopted impact

1,350+ individuals directly impacted

These are not theoretical partnerships—these are already signed and operational institutional agreements, creating a clear pathway for national scaling.

What You Will Do

Lead & Supervise

Oversee 10–15 interns facilitating structured sessions

Ensure consistent delivery of the developmental model:

Awareness Personalization Action Community Integration

Apply Licensed Expertise

Maintain ethical, non-clinical boundaries

Ensure psychological safety across all environments

Guide interns in real-world participant engagement

Ensure Quality & Integrity

Monitor facilitation quality and participant outcomes

Prevent drift into reactive or deficit-based models

Maintain a strengths-based, purpose-driven approach

Develop Future Practitioners

Train interns in facilitation, empathy, and structured engagement

Translate academic theory into applied community impact

Build & Scale

Help expand an already validated model across institutions

Contribute to scaling from 27 1,000+ impact producers

Why This Role Is Different

This is not traditional supervision.

You are not managing caseloads

You are helping build infrastructure for prevention at a national level

Instead of serving individuals one at a time, you will:

Multiply your impact through supervised cohorts

Help scale a system already embedded in universities and communities

Ideal Candidate

Licensed Social Worker (LMSW, LCSW, LICSW, or equivalent)

Experience in supervision, facilitation, or community-based work

Interest in:

Public health innovation

Preventative care models

Startup environments

The Opportunity

This is a ground-floor role in a high-potential public health startup with:

Signed and scalable institutional agreements across the U.S.

Proven validation across real-world, institutional, and academic environments

Global reach and national expansion readiness

An opportunity to earn equity

Shape the model

Help redefine how social work operates at scale

Bottom Line:

This role is for a licensed social worker ready to move upstream—

from responding to crisis to building systems that prevent it altogether.

What is novel is the integration: rigorous research translated directly into curriculum, credentialing, and economic participation. In this sense, Voice Up is not just offering a program, but proposing a new category of credential—one that complements degrees by validating something they typically imply but do not verify.

The Human Advantage

As AI continues to transform how work is done, the most valuable credentials may be those that confirm what machines cannot replace: the ability to create meaning, build trust, and deliver value that people actually care about. Voice Up’s approach suggests that the future of education may hinge less on accumulating credentials, and more on proving contribution.

In an economy increasingly shaped by algorithms, the Voice Up Credential offers a simple but radical promise: that human purpose, when rigorously cultivated and applied, remains one of the most powerful economic assets we have.
