Application requirements

To apply, submit your CV, a short explanation of why the role interests you, and one example of something tangible you have created. Examples could include writing, a LinkedIn post, article, newsletter, student publication, podcast, video, campaign, research project, presentation, website, social account, event, community project, or any other work that shows how you think and deliver results.

The focus is less on polish and more on showing that you can take an idea and turn it into something real.
