Summer Digital Apprentice Application Form 2020

Summer Digital Apprentice Application
In response to the Covid-19 health crisis this summer, E4 Youth is offering high school students and graduating seniors opportunities to participate as Digital Apprentices in our Creative Leadership Academy (CLA). The CLA provides professional level training and employment opportunities to creative youth.

Digital Apprentices will earn up to $250 in cash gift cards as they work with our Creative Mentors on special projects and participate in weekly virtual talks with industry professionals, career mapping, resume and portfolio building activities. Digital Apprentices may also become eligible for additional job shadow, internship and employment opportunities with E4 Youth as Creative Mentors, Digital Docents and our broad range of partners throughout education, creative media and technology.

Based on demonstrated need, E4 Youth may also be able to provide assistance with internet access and laptops to program participants as well.

Program alumni have gone on to earn paid internships, part- and full-time employment with E4 Youth and our ecosystem of corporate partners and others including GSD&M, McGarrah Jessee, Sherry Matthews Advocacy Marketing, Tableau and others. Questions? Visit our Contact page.
