Do you have what it takes to star in the next big YouTube series? Whether it's breaking down sports, gaming and sharing your unique take on current events, movie reviews or something else…
we’re looking for you.
Project 26 is launching our next cohort of content creator fellows, looking for ambitious fellows ready to launch series on our YouTube channel. Fellows will work with P26 staff to choose an overarching theme for their series and develop weekly videos. Series topics could focus on gaming, sports, culture, and more - they do not need to be explicitly political! Fellows should feel comfortable being on camera.
What You’ll Do:
- Create one long form video (10-15min) for the Project 26 YouTube channel a week, scripting, filming, and editing.
- Create multiple shorter videos (30s-3min) highlighting their most recent long form project.
- Build and maintain youtube presence for P26 and maintain the community via instagram or discord.
We expect that fellows will work 15-20 hours per week.
What You’ll Get:
- Strategy support and coaching
- Visibility for your work across our broader platform
Who You Are:
- Has a special interest and is ready to tell the world about it!
- Comfortable talking politics in casual settings
- Ready to experiment, learn, and grow fast
- Passionate about shaping the culture and conversation
Sound like you? Apply now and show us what you’ve got. We’re not looking for polish — we’re looking for potential.
