Background

Shamiri Institute is seeking energetic and self-motivated team players to join us as Shamiri Fellows based at the Kisumu, Donholm, Kiambu/Thika town, Kenol and Kangema hubs in Nairobi, Kiambu, Kisumu, and Murang’a Counties.

Shamiri Fellows are recent high-school graduates trained to deliver the 4-week Shamiri intervention without prior formal health training as part of the Shamiri Program. Fellows receive ten hours of training and weekly supervision from Shamiri Clinical Supervisors. They lead group-based intervention sessions with high school students within the schools we will be implementing with in Nairobi, Kiambu, Kisumu, and Murang’a Counties. Prior research has shown that Shamiri Fellows are effective - thorough, skill-full, clear, and adherent to session protocol - at delivering the Shamiri intervention. We are seeking an energetic and self-motivated team player to join our sixth class of Thrive! Fellows.
