NGO Overview, Mission, and Purpose: What We Are About and Who We Help
To Write Love On Her Arms is an organization that is dedicated to education and presenting hopeful opportunities for those struggling with self - harming disorders. Our mission statement is: To Write Love on Her Arms is a non-profit movement dedicated to presenting hope and finding help for people struggling with depression, addiction, self-injury, and suicide. TWLOHA exists to encourage, inform, inspire, and also to invest directly into treatment and recovery.

The vision is that we actually believe these things: You were created to love and be loved. You were meant to live life in relationship with other people, to know and be known. You need to know your story is important, and you're part of a bigger story. You need to know your life matters. We live in a difficult world, a broken world. We believe everyone can relate to pain, all of us live with questions, and all of us get stuck in moments. You need to know you're not alone in the places you feel stuck. We all wake to the human condition. We wake to mystery and beauty, but also to tragedy and loss. Millions of people live with problems of pain. Millions of homes are filled with questions—moments, and seasons, and cycles that come as thieves and aim to stay. We know pain is very real. It is our privilege to suggest that hope is real and help is real. You need to know rescue is possible, freedom is possible, God is still in the business of redemption. We're seeing it happen. People sitting across from a counselor for the first time. People stepping into treatment. In desperate moments, people calling a suicide hotline. We know the first step toward recovery is the hardest to take. We want to say here that it's worth it, your life is worth fighting for, it's possible to change. > Beyond treatment, we believe community is essential. People need other people. We were never meant to do life alone. The vision is that community, hope, and help would replace secrets and silence. The vision is people putting down guns, and blades, and bottles. The vision is that we can reduce the suicide rate in America and around the world. The vision is that we would learn what it means to love our friends, and we would love ourselves enough to get the help we need. The vision is better endings. The vision is the restoration of broken families and broken relationships. The vision is people finding life, finding freedom, finding love. The vision is graduation, a Super Bowl, a wedding, a child, a sunrise. The vision is people becoming incredible parents, breaking cycles, making changes. The vision is the possibility that your best days are ahead. The vision is the possibility that we're more loved than we'll ever know. The vision is hope, and hope is real. You are not alone, and this is not the end of your story. —Jamie Tworkowski TWLOHA Founder

NGO "Bottom Line": How Me Make an Impact
The bottom line is, we help young people who are suffering to boost their self confidence. We are there when it seems like no one is on your side. This organization promotes loving yourself and is against all violence whether it be towards yourself or other human beings. Love is the movement. All humans should be loved and cared for. We want every man, woman, and child to feel comfortable in their own skin and with their own bodies. The hope is to help every person struggling with eating disorders, self harm, depression, and addiction realize that their stories are important to the world and important to those who care for them. We hope to love them so that they may learn to help themselves by reaching out to show them that we care.

NGO Job Openings: Who, Why, Where, When, and for How Much?
There are internship opportunities within this organization ([|internship info and application]) in which there are three terms that you can apply for. Some important things to know when applying is that student must raise their own funds in order to participate,you must bring your own form of transportation, and you may get school credit for the internship provided you talk with your academic advisor or guidance counselor to begin that process. It isn’t mandatory for our interns to live in the provided intern housing; however, we do highly encourage them to do this because it builds community among the interns. We ask for a donation of $200/month from those living in the intern house to help offset the costs of rent, utilities, and supplies. Bedrooms and bathrooms are shared and gender-specific. We recommend that you consider your lifestyle and budget for food, gas, and additional spending money accordingly. We’d recommend about $1000/month, including the $200/month housing donation. But it really depends on your individual needs and lifestyle Our Intern Program is a great way to be directly involved and immersed in the mission of TWLOHA. Interns are invited to join us in Melbourne, FL for a term to live in community together while developing both personally and professionally. They present hope and act as a bridge to help for those struggling with depression, addiction, self-injury, and suicide. There are many responsibilities that an intern may have. These include but are not limited to be Storytellers, in charge of Social media content, Merchandise customer service, and Inventory maintenance.

The requirements for this internship are: . Are at least 18 years old (by the application deadline) · Have excellent written and oral communication skills, computer literacy, and thorough knowledge of the Internet · Live in Melbourne, FL for the entire term · Work well both independently and as part of a community · Manage and prioritize multiple projects simultaneously · Have a willingness and ability to take care of oneself while caring for others.

Your health is what’s most important.)
