Ours To Own creative cohort: Get paid to tell the story of a more democratic economy

Love creating content? Want your work to make a difference? The Ours to Own Media Project is hiring students for a paid creative cohort to help communicate the growing movement toward community ownership and economic democracy.

From worker-owned businesses to community land trusts and cooperatives, people across the country are reimagining who owns and benefits from local economies. As part of the cohort, you'll work alongside fellow student creators to share their stories with new audiences online.

In this position, you will create engaging posts, reels and short videos for social media, turn big ideas into clear, shareable content, highlight real people and organizations building community wealth and collaborate with a cohort of student creators to grow an online audience. 

Undergraduate and graduate students from any major or program with an eye for content and an interest in social or economic justice are encouraged to apply. No background in economics is required. 

This is a paid position with a stipend of $1,000 a month for three months. There are required on-campus sessions on select Friday mornings from 9 to 11 a.m. on Oct. 16, Oct. 30 and Nov. 20. The cohort will last three months beginning Oct. 16 and the deadline to apply is Friday, Oct. 9.
