Data Science Intern
Flourish
a service of form communities
Do you have incredible attention to detail and enjoy mastering ambiguous tasks, then repeating them? Are you great with technology? Comfortable making sense of other peoples’ data? Come join us!
About FORM
We’re a small non-profit that works to improve the mental health of our communities. We do this by helping to deploy different types of community-based mental health approaches to interested communities. We strive to remove barriers to services, barriers to entering the workforce, and barriers to running effective programs.
About Flourish
Flourish is a cloud-based tool, and the accompanying support services, used to help manage Clubhouse programs. Clubhouses are community-based programs for mental health recovery where members engage in therapeutically-designed tasks to overcome personal obstacles while supporting the daily work of the organization. Flourish helps members get involved in the important work of tracking data in their Clubhouses.
As part of our work, we’ve created a social enterprise service through which we use our experience managing our Clubhouse to help others with the management of their Clubhouses. We’ve built Flourish to help members manage their Clubhouses. Demand for our help has grown quickly, and we’re in need of someone to help with our data migration and integration work.
About the Job
Your workload would vary based on your specific skills, interests, and availability. We absolutely need help with data cleansing and migration. We would also welcome help with data warehousing, reporting, and visualization; however, not at the expense of data migration and integration. We have to move lots of messy data from spreadsheets and databases into our tools. We need your help with that. This is a lot of very detail-focused work.
