Lead Mental Health Brand Ambassador

Mental Health Brand Ambassador Lead | Part-Time, Remote-CA Preferred

About Us:

Soluna is a free, confidential mental health platform for individuals aged 13-25 designed to support the mental health of young people across California. Funded by the California Department of Health Care Services and launched earlier this year, the app provides interactive tools, resources, 1:1 coaching by mental health professionals, and a supportive peer community. Our mission is to make mental health support more accessible for teens and young adults.

What We’re Looking For: 

The Ambassador Lead role is designed for ambassadors who have demonstrated exceptional commitment, leadership, and alignment with Soluna’s mission and are invited to continue their involvement into the next cohort. Expert Ambassadors serve as peer mentors, offering guidance, sharing resources, and fostering a collaborative and supportive community among current ambassadors.

How You’ll Make an Impact: 

Pre-Requisite Ambassador Role Key Responsibilities:

• Spend ~2.5 hours/week working on promotion activities and/or collaborating with the Soluna team remotely (via Slack). 
• Promote the Soluna app through a range of online, community and campus-based initiatives, including social media, word-of-mouth, and events.
• Participate in campus or community events to represent Soluna and share its benefits.
• Create and share content (posts, stories, videos) that resonates with teens and young adults.
• Collaborate with student organizations and clubs, mental health groups, and school decision makers to drive app downloads.
• Participate in media opportunities, including interviews or panel discussions, to highlight the importance of youth mental health and Soluna’s role in helping to transform California’s mental health system.
• Share regular feedback and insights to help improve the app.
• Report regularly on your activities as an Ambassador.

Key Responsibilities:

• Fostering a Collaborative Community Space: Actively contribute to creating a peer-driven environment in the ambassador Slack channel by sharing insights, encouraging participation, and promoting collaboration among ambassadors.
• Peer-to-Peer Guidance: Provide support by offering pointers within the ambassador Slack channel, answering peer facing questions in the channel, and hosting brainstorming and/or workshop sessions.
• Brainstorming or Workshop Support Sessions: Facilitate weekly working sessions (led by one or two expert ambassadors on a rotational basis, meaning each lead will be assigned to take a turn rather than leading every week). These sessions will focus on actionable strategies for scheduling events, gaining professor approval for classroom presentations, digital engagement tactics, on-campus outreach initiatives, and Q&A. Ambassadors attending should leave with a concrete takeaway—such as a worksheet, guided notes, or an action plan—to help improve their current strategies and develop next steps. These are meant to be productive, hands-on sessions, not just discussions.
• Lead a Focus Committee: Select a focus area (e.g., Social Media, Presentations & Events) in collaboration with the program manager during a dedicated Lead Ambassador training session. All committee leads will regularly meet with the manager to review metrics that provide insight into the cohort’s collective success within their focus area. Together, they will develop an action plan that includes clear steps for improving ambassador strategies, identifying what’s been effective, and addressing areas for growth. Based on these insights, leads will guide the rest of the ambassadors by issuing measurable calls to action in Slack. These calls to action should prompt specific responses—such as sharing a completed task or update in the thread—so that participation and impact can be easily tracked and reinforced throughout the cohort.
• Outreach and Event Support: Continue efforts to schedule and host on-campus events, classroom presentations, and support local community events as aligns with availability.
• Social Media Engagement: Regularly re-share Soluna posts on personal social media accounts, tagging Soluna to boost visibilit
