Do you love digital art/music, and want to gain more leadership experience? Join our team as a Youth Researcher!​

Application Deadline: December 5th at 11:59 PM EST

Overview:

Our team at DGTL Creator North has recently launched an online hangout space focused on digital/media art and music! We connect with youth using Gather.town and Discord for collaborative creativity and playing around with all things digital.

We invite you to build and run a workshop in your field of interest!

As a Youth Researcher, you get to work closely with our programming facilitators/artists: Tyler Cunningham, Rebecca Watson, and Heran Genene. This is an excellent opportunity to get hands-on experience with pros in the arts sector and to build on leadership skills. We will respond to your creative interests through one-on-one artistic chats and workshops, as well as by building a community for collaboration and support.

With this creative VIRTUAL leadership position you will:

• Brainstorm some workshop ideas with our team
• Plan and help to run your own workshop!
• Create invitations and recruit participants (they can be your friends!)
• Debrief with participants about how the event went
• Tell us what you thought of the experience!

Compensation:

You will be paid $300 for a total of 12 hours of work.

Does this sound like you?:

• You are between the ages of 15-19 and living in Northern Ontario
• You have an interest in digital/media art (some examples include: music-making, digital drawing, animation, photography, coding art, etc)
• You can get reliable access to an internet connection while we are creating the workshop together (at school, a library/community center, or at home)

To Apply:

Send us an email to northbay@digitalcreator.ca and attach either a written or short video application telling us why you want to join us, and what leadership and creative skills make you a good fit! Send us any questions you may have to either that email address or on social media! Instagram: @digitalcreatornorth, Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/digitalcreatornorth
