导师（新泽西）

Somethings is building the first social wellness platform for teens, a place where a teen can form a real relationship with a mentor who gets them, sticks with them, and helps them get better.
25 Million teens in the U.S. are struggling with their mental health. Every one of the thousands of teens who download Somethings is struggling. Our job is to make sure they don’t just show up — they stay, connect with real humans who care deeply about them, and get the support that they need to thrive.
We’re backed by General Catalyst and world-class healthcare + consumer investors, and we’re growing like crazy — in 2025 we grew 1100% and are on track to 5x in 2026.
If you want to be a part of the generationally defining company in mental health, this is your moment to join.

We're looking for highly organized, motivated, and empathetic young adults who want to help the next generation feel their best. As a Somethings Mentor, you will be able to help teenagers navigate the difficulties of their adolescent years and enable them to live their happiest, healthiest life.

Interested? Here Are Your Next Steps:

• If you pass the written application, you will be invited to submit a video interview. The video can be submitted via Google Drive, One Drive, Vimeo, or YouTube.

• Prep material will be provided in advance of this session

• If you pass the live interview round, you'll be sent a formal offer, complete internal training and onboarding tasks. Once your CPS certificate is approved, we'll get you onboarding in our next available cohort.
