About us:

We are a Berlin-based social startup helping people increase their well-being with a holistic science-based program and game. Workout for Happiness (W4H) candidates work on all life areas (physical, mental, social) and understand that the best way to change the world is to change themselves to become happier, healthier and thus, more compassionate versions of themselves. The next few months at W4H will be extremely exciting and the most critical for the growth of our company. We will launch our app in the summer and for this, a crowdfunding campaign.

As a young startup, we are looking for a psychology student intern (m/f/d) who is interested in joining our mission of making this world a happier place.

The position:

As a Psychology intern, you will:

  • Work on a product with a purpose: our sole aim is to help change the world for the better.
  • Enrich W4H’s content by contributing to topics already existent in the program while brainstorming and researching new ones - all topics stem from Positive Psychology and other areas of happiness and well-being research.
  • Expanding on the glossary section of the W4H program.
  • Collaborate closely with the founders to shape and structure the W4H program on the basis of its content.
  • Strengthen our community with your creative ideas and communication skills

The role is initially a 3-6 month unpaid student internship with the possibility of future development.

What you will bring along:

  • Commitment to making this world a better place and a strong understanding of the importance of giving back.
  • Studies in (Positive) Psychology or related field; enrolment at end of bachelor, or later. You must be enrolled during the entire duration of the internship.
  • Interest for (and ideally, experience in) the well-being industry - happiness, health, nutrition, meditation, sports.
  • Fluent English and outstanding communication skills (both verbal and written).
  • Availability to live in beautiful and multicultural Berlin during the duration of the internship.

Benefits:

  • Explore the dynamic Berlin startup industry.
  • Be part of our international team compound by passionate and open-minded people who believe in this mission.
  • Work hand-in-hand with the company’s founders in a relaxed environment with open communication with all members.
  • Take on real responsibility in different intriguing challenges that will develop your knowledge and your “get-things-done” attitude.
  • The satisfaction of working with a purpose: everything you do contributes to making this world a happier place.
