Name: Recruiting Virtual Mental Health Group Leaders!
Start: 2025-08-16T23:00:00.000Z
Location: Ohio Union

Join us every other Tuesday at 7pm EST for some grounding, connection and support from good brothers like you! We will start more outdoor groups in the spring once the weather warms up.

**The focus of this group:**
This group was created from one man's mental health struggles within isolation. Now, we are here to hold space for other men who may need a friend, some movement, and a brotherhood community where we can all lift each other up as we pursue fulfilling lives. This is a safe, strong, and positive masculine space where all men and all beliefs are welcome!

**Background and Non-profit Support**
This group was birthed from the struggles of men in our community and is now supported by a mental healt nonprofit organization called Speak Your Mind (Click here to learn more: [https://linktr.ee/taketimespeakyourmind](https://linktr.ee/taketimespeakyourmind)).

The mission of Speak Your Mind is to provide spaces for local communities to connect and support each other during a mental health crisis that continues to escalate.

We are stronger together, and it is okay to seek support and connection along this difficult journey of life!

All events are non-denominational and donation-based. No one will be turned away for their beliefs or financial position.

Apply to be an Ohio Virtual Men's Group Leader!

We are recruiting new group leaders for virtual men's groups! Our primary groups are outdoor movement groups, but we are launching virtual groups for the state of Ohio and beyond and the groups will move outside in the spring, creating room for men's groups, women's groups and coed groups all over the country.
Read below to learn about our groups and click the links at the bottom to apply.

### **What is an Outdoor Empowerment Group?**

Our Outdoor Movement & Community Empowerment Groups are simple, guided experiences designed to help people reconnect with nature, themselves, and others. We combine some form of movement (hike, walk, run, bike, yoga, workout) and meaningful conversation within a simple community circle to create a space where individuals can support each other while prioritizing mental and physical well-being.
Whether you’re seeking stress relief, personal growth, or community, our groups offer everyone a unique and welcoming environment.

## **Why Join?**

* **Improve Mental & Physical Well-Being** – Movement, nature, and supportive conversations reduce stress and promote balance.
* **Feel Less Alone** – Build genuine connections with like-minded people in a safe, welcoming space.
* **Gain Clarity & Perspective** – Step outside daily routines and into a space designed for personal growth and reflection.

## **The Ideal Group Leader**

The ideal group leader

* Has a born-in passion for mental health, movement, connecting with nature and building community.
* Has 5 extra hours per week to dedicate to a meaningful cause for at least one year. Yes, you can leave any organization at any time and we can also ask you to leave, but we are building with legacy in mind and we need people who can commit and be ALL IN on this mission to build with us.
* Is independently financially stable with the ability to volunteer with no expectation of pay. This is a deeply beautiful journey of service that all participants commit to at Speak Your Mind.
* An ability to manage groups with high emotional intelligence and desire for human connection.
* An ability to self-motivate and market/promote their group on Facebook and other social platforms.
* Nature informed therapy or clinical therapists/psychologists a plus.

## **Our Impact**

Since launching, we have helped thousands find support, connection, and healing through our Outdoor Movement Groups. 100% of participants surveyed have reported:

* A noticeable improvement in mental clarity and emotional well-being.
* An increase in social connection and a sense of belonging.
* Said they would return again.

We believe mental health should be accessible, community-driven, and rooted in nature. Join us and take the first step toward a more connected, grounded, and supported version of yourself.

### **Why Our Groups are Donation-Based**

Our Outdoor Movement Groups are made possible through a donation-based model. This approach allows us to keep our events accessible to everyone, regardless of financial circumstances, while also ensuring that we can continue expanding our reach. It’s a great way to pay it forward and support the growth of this beautiful mission!
Every contribution helps us:

* **Cover Essential Costs** – Donations allow us to pay essential legal, marketing, insurance, and admin costs as well as nourish the important people who run the organization.
* **Grow Our Mission** – With your support, we can bring these healing experiences to thousands more people in the future and execute our long term plan to expand across the USA, affecting up to 500,000 people per year.

By choosing to contribute, you’re not just leading an event—you’re helping build a mental health movement that supports long-term well-being and connection for all during a severe mental health epidemic.
