TalkIsrael
Paid content-creator programs — stipends plus compensation per piece — for students with an existing social following, alongside a free workshop for groups with a large teen audience. The money here is for individual creators, not clubs.
TalkIsrael trains and pays a new generation of content creators to tell Israel's story online.
- Nothing a chapter can apply for as an entity — the creator programs are for individuals
- One free one-hour workshop on content, TikTok, or AI strategy, if your group engages a large teen audience
- Paid creator programs (a stipend plus pay per piece) for individual students with an existing following
