Hey students! Want to share your voice, boost your resume, and earn a $25 gift card or volunteer hours?

At SmartSocial, we believe students are the true experts — and bring the most valuable insights to help parents, educators and other students learn how to best navigate the ever-changing digital world.

Our Content Creation Internship Program gives middle school and high school students the opportunity to share their personal experience and insights, build confidence, and develop valuable skills that colleges and employers love to see.

Monthly projects may discuss TikTok, Snapchat, video games, Instagram and other popular apps. Every month, students can choose from three exciting ways to participate — and each project earns them a $25 gift card to Starbucks or Amazon.

• Build on-camera/video interview confidence
• Learn how to communicate clearly

2) Research & Writing Projects

Students research a timely digital topic and answer 5–6 questions in a short blog post. This project helps teens:

• Build a positive digital footprint for colleges and future employers
• Strengthen research and writing skills
• Form and share opinions and experiences
  

3) LIVE Event Guest Speaker Project

Students join Josh Ochs for a 1-hour live event as a guest presenter. Students answer 5–6 questions on stage (virtually) and give their student’s perspective to families and schools. This opportunity helps them:

• Get experience that looks great on applications
