We’re looking for independent creators who provide a service to their community, whether that’s restaurant openings, public health information, parenting discussions, or local stories. If you create content that informs or connects people, this program will teach you the tactical skills to ensure you are disseminating accurate information.

Creators only need an engaged following on a digital platform (i.e. Instagram, TikTok, Twitch, Substack, YouTube, etc.), and a focus on providing information-based services to a specific community.

The cohort will meet virtually once a week for eight weeks, from October 14 to December 12, 2025, with a weekly posting assignment involving citing sources, engaging with your audience, and collaborating with our publishing partners to expand reach and profile. Class participants will have access to lively discussion forums with program directors and colleagues to brainstorm ideas, troubleshoot questions, and enjoy camaraderie.

Creators chosen for this cohort will receive a $5,000 stipend and will be eligible for additional compensation through paid creator programs with our partners.
