ThriveEd, a subsidiary of MyMensana, has launched an exclusive pilot program to bring a diverse group of educators and mental health professionals together to shape the future of social, emotional, and mental wellness education. We are now accepting applications for a limited number of founding educators for our second round pilot beginning this fall.

This is more than a job—it's a calling. We believe young people deserve access to the essential life skills that schools often don't teach. If you're passionate about equity in mental health education and helping students develop the tools they need to navigate an increasingly complex world, this is your opportunity to be part of a transformative movement.

Our Mission & Vision We fundamentally believe that young people are not equipped with the skills they need to be successful, reduce escalation, and improve their quality of life. What would the world look like if we focused more on the skills that matter? We're committed to addressing systemic gaps in emotional and social skill development while centering equity and cultural responsiveness in everything we do.

What We Do (And Don't Do) We provide skill training and development—not therapy. Our evidence-based approach focuses on:

Emotional intelligence and social-emotional learning
Coping skills and distress tolerance techniques
Life skills and transition to adulthood support
College and career readiness
Social skills development
Empathy building and trauma-informed approaches
Mental health through a social justice lens
Identity-affirming practices for marginalized communities

Why ThriveEd?

Flexibility & Freedom: You decide when and how often you teach, giving you control over your schedule
Create Your Vision: You design courses, clubs, or groups that center the communities you're passionate about serving
Business Without the Busywork: As an independent contractor, you focus on teaching while we handle marketing, registration, and payments
Founding Educator Recognition: Be part of our inaugural cohort and gain early access to tools and resources
Competitive Earnings: You keep 80% of your earnings and set your own prices
Purpose-Driven Community: Join educators who share your commitment to systemic change

Who We're Seeking We're looking for passionate educators, clinicians, counselors, coaches, and community advocates who bring:

Essential Qualities:

Deep commitment to evidence-based practices in skill development and social-emotional learning
Cultural humility and anti-oppressive approach to working with young people
Understanding that healing happens in community and that individual wellness is connected to collective liberation
Creativity in designing engaging, culturally responsive learning experiences
Lived experience and/or professional experience working with youth from diverse backgrounds

Specialized Experience We Value:

Working with underserved and underrepresented communities
LGBTQ+ affirming practices and identity development work
Culturally specific approaches (Black mental health, Indigenous healing practices, etc.)
Trauma-informed and healing-centered practices
Community organizing or social justice advocacy
Understanding of how systemic oppression impacts mental health

Qualifications: While we highly value advanced degrees (Masters/PhD) and professional licensure, we equally value lived experience and demonstrated commitment to youth development. If you have experience working with young people and share our values around equity and empowerment, we encourage you to apply.

Ready to Join Our Movement? We're accepting a limited number of founding educators who are ready to start immediately and help us launch this groundbreaking pilot. Together, we can create educational spaces that honor young people's full humanity while building the skills they need to thrive.
