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

Why This Role Is Different

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

The skill shift: from what you know to what you can do with what you know
For decades, education and training often rewarded possession of knowledge: completing the reading, passing the test, writing the paper. But AI can now generate a plausible essay, a slide deck, or a market summary in seconds. The new differentiator isn’t producing information it’s producing judgment, context, and value. Employers are increasingly emphasizing skills that are durable across tools and industries: analytical thinking, creative thinking, resilience and adaptability, leadership and social influence, curiosity and lifelong learning, systems thinking, and motivation/self-awareness.
The hidden risk: AI can widen the gap between task-doers and value-creators
The danger isn’t simply job loss. It’s stratification. Workers who can use AI to accelerate high-level work may see gains; workers who are positioned as interchangeable task-doers may face wage pressure or stagnation. The OECD has warned of divides between workers able to complement AI and those who cannot, with very different economic outcomes. In early 2026, AI-related labor disruption has become prominent enough that global leaders were publicly describing it as a wave capable of reshaping entry-level work in particular.
