Voice Up Founding LCSW Non Clinical Director 100% Remote

Voice Up is seeking a Founding Non-Clinical Director (LCSW) to help shape the future of human-centered behavioral health workforce development, reflective practice, mentorship, and interdisciplinary leadership.
This is more than a traditional social work role.
It is an opportunity to help build an emerging workforce activation and behavioral systems ecosystem focused on helping individuals identify overlooked strengths, connect those strengths to purpose, and translate them into meaningful educational, workforce, behavioral health, and AI-related participation pathways.
Voice Up is uniquely grounded in ongoing doctoral research and real-world implementation occurring simultaneously.
The foundation of the organization emerged through doctoral-level research centered on a concept known as The Naming Gap the observation that many individuals already possess meaningful leadership abilities, caregiving experiences, communication skills, relational intelligence, resilience, and behavioral health-relevant competencies, yet existing systems often fail to properly recognize, name, translate, or connect those strengths to opportunity.
Rather than assuming talent does not exist, Voice Up argues that the systems responsible for identifying and translating talent are often incomplete.
What makes Voice Up especially significant is that the research was not developed in isolation from practice.
The doctoral framework evolved alongside live workforce activation, reflective engagement, mentorship, implementation activity, and interdisciplinary participation occurring in real-world environments.
Over time, what began through conversations, mentorship, storytelling, and reflective practice evolved into an emerging interdisciplinary ecosystem operating at the intersection of:
behavioral health,
workforce development,
public health,
implementation science,
reflective development,
community engagement,
and human-centered AI participation.
The scale and institutional reach of the Voice Up ecosystem has become increasingly significant.
According to internally reconciled doctoral-level audit summaries, Voice Up has now engaged:
2,941 quantitative participants,
1,353 qualitative-coded participants,
2,418 qualitative records,
and more than 5,385 program activities and events.
Most notably, the ecosystem has demonstrated reach across:
257 higher education institutions as a conservative verified count,
347 institutions across the broader ecosystem,
and 61 confirmed R1 research universities.
This is strategically important because R1 institutions represent the most research-intensive universities in the United States.
The presence of Voice Up across these environments demonstrates that the model is not functioning as a small local initiative or isolated pilot program, but rather as an emerging behavioral workforce and reflective development ecosystem with broad institutional relevance.
Even more remarkable is that much of this growth and implementation occurred under highly constrained conditions, often during evenings, weekends, and limited after-hours operational capacity.
Over the past 12 months, Voice Up has also evolved into real-world participation within the global AI economy.
Through its strategic development framework and emphasis on communication, contextual understanding, relational intelligence, reflective thinking, and ethical reasoning, Voice Up is increasingly helping individuals recognize that they already possess many of the competencies needed to contribute within emerging AI-enabled workforce systems.
Voice Up is now connected to consulting and participation opportunities associated with the rapidly evolving global AI economy, helping participants better understand how their lived experiences, communication abilities, empathy, and reflective capacities can become meaningful assets within future-oriented workforce environments.
Rather than viewing AI solely through the lens of coding or engineering, Voice Up emphasizes the growing importance of:
human oversight,
interpretation,
ethical reasoning,
communication,
contextual judgment,
and relational engagement.
These are precisely the kinds of competencies becoming increasingly valuable within human-centered AI systems.
As a result, Voice Up is increasingly helping connect individuals who engage in its strategic training and reflective development process to meaningful opportunities within the new AI economy.
Voice Up is grounded in the core principles of:
Collaboration
Humility
Precision
Patience
Empathy
These principles serve not simply as organizational values, but as foundational infrastructure for workforce development, relational leadership, reflective engagement, and long-term human-centered impact.
The Founding Non-Clinical Director will help shape the next phase of this vision.
This position is intentionally different from a traditional clinical management role.
Rather than focusing primarily on therapy delivery, billing oversight, or productivity metrics, this role centers on:
mentorship,
workforce activation,
reflective development,
interdisciplinary collaboration,
implementation support,
public health engagement,
and helping individuals connect their talents and experiences to meaningful purpose-driven pathways.
The ideal candidate believes deeply in:
mentorship,
reflective practice,
community engagement,
workforce development,
and the transformative power of human connection.
This position will begin as a flexible part-time consulting leadership role during the foundational growth phase of Voice Up.
However, the long-term vision is substantial.
As the ecosystem continues expanding through:
university partnerships,
behavioral health innovation,
workforce initiatives,
implementation science,
public health collaborations,
and human-centered AI workforce participation,
the goal is for this role to evolve into a major leadership position helping shape the future direction of Voice Up and the next generation of licensed clinical social workers.
The mission remains:
Connect people to purpose creating positive impact that transforms societies one conversation one person at a time.

The Method Behind the Movement: How the Fuller Method Is Reframing Purpose as a Scalable Engine for Social Impact
By Staff Writer
In a moment when institutions are under pressure to demonstrate real outcomes economic, social, and human a growing number of educators and system leaders are asking a deceptively simple question: What actually helps people move from intention to impact?
A method gaining quiet traction across universities, public health systems, and community-based programs suggests the answer may not be another tool or technology, but a disciplined way of working with people. Known as the Fuller Method, this approach is emerging as the foundational engine behind Voice Up, a purpose-centered learning and credentialing ecosystem designed to produce measurable social value.
