Skilled Trainer Military Mile Project

Seeking Skilled Trainers

For the past 20 years, Give an Hour has been dedicated to supporting our military community with our mental health services. Founded in the aftermath of 9/11, we recognized the urgent need for life‑saving mental health support for those who had sacrificed so much. We are seeking a skilled trainer to support a project, The Military Mile Project, on military bases.

At Give an Hour, we’ve made it our mission to stand in the gap for those who feel hopeless, offering support, connection, and care when it’s needed most. Our latest initiative, the Military Mile Project, is a powerful example of how we’re working to protect our active‑duty soldiers from suicide. The Military Mile Project is an initiative aimed at training 2,000 service members across 10 military bases.

This project empowers our warriors to support 6,000 of their peers, breaking stigma and building resilience. Through three 90‑minute trauma‑informed training sessions, we prepare these leaders to handle stressors, fight stigma, navigate difficult conversations, and support their peers. Every soldier trained becomes a fighter against the silent enemy within and a perpetuator of the hope that we all need.

Over the last 3 years, we have worked with leadership at all levels to find the most effective way to access active‑duty soldiers, infusing mental health training into interventions that already exist on base. This has evolved into a monthly opportunity to train soldiers directly on base, and to date, we have trained over 400 soldiers. To continue this work, we are seeking local trainers who can dedicate up to 3 days per month to delivering this intervention while working alongside the national Give an Hour office to ensure thoughtful evaluation practices.

Our ideal candidates for this work would be a Veteran. We are not looking for a clinician – one of the values we have as an organization is to up‑skill individuals who are not mental‑health professionals to provide support for others.

• Our trainings are currently during the first week of each month and require full availability Tuesday–Thursday between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m.
• The position is considered a contract role, starting February 2026.
• The pay will correspond with previous experience with the population and proven excellence as a trainer.

Interested applicants should submit a letter of interest and a resume that reflects the skills needed for this position.
