We are excited to announce the second iteration of our Electrify EduTuber Accelerator as part of our Creator Foundation. This is an exclusive program bringing together emerging creators, to develop their skills over a 20-week course. We have partnered with Changer Studios, in collaboration with YouTube, to empower learning creators through personalised mentorship, expert-led seminars, and a vibrant creator community.
This year's carefully curated cohort of 25 creators across North America represents a diverse and dynamic group of educational storytellers. The purpose of this programme is to continue championing emerging and often underrepresented Edu-Tuber channels, by providing access to key resources. From STEM educators and skill trainers to cultural storytellers and professional development experts, our selected creators embody the values of inspiring and informative content.
We envision that each cohort builds upon the last, creating a growing community of skilled, passionate learning content creators. Last year's alumni Sam Luo (LYH Studio) speaks to the program's impact “I think the most valuable thing from the sessions is to have access to such an amazing community where we can all share, relate, and help each other in this Educational Youtuber pursuit.”
Electrify Co-CEO Ian Shepherd said “The success of our first cohort showed us the immense potential of supporting emerging educational creators. With this second iteration, we're doubling down on our mission to elevate diverse voices in education and create meaningful learning opportunities for millions of viewers globally."
The Electrify Video Partners Creator Foundation was established to empower and nurture creative talent through exceptional resources, initiatives and programmes that accelerate them forward. As a pro-active supporter of the United Nations 17 Sustainable development goals, we work toward incubating a positive impact leveraging social media.
As we prepare to unveil our next cohort of exceptional creators, we remain committed to nurturing the next generation of voices who will shape the future of online learning and skills development.
