big yard creators
portland’s next creatives start here.
Big Yard Creators is an 8-week workshop designed to help high school juniors and seniors build real creative skills in strategy, storytelling, photo and video production, content development, and brand execution. Students will work directly with the Big Yard team to understand how ideas move from concept to completion while gaining hands-on experience in content and social strategy, idea generation, and campaign execution.
We’re looking for curious, creative students who are rooted in their communities and able to commit to weekly sessions. The program runs from February 23 – April 24, and participants will receive a $200 stipend upon completion. Applications close January 6 at 11:59 PM
