Spotlight on December’s Winners

We wanted to highlight a few of the winners of this month’s Power Bands. When asked what “Rising Up” means to her, Chloe Michaels (17) from New Jersey stated, “Rising up is taking a stand for others while being supportive, understanding, and caring. It is also about doing your best to report and take down any negativity that could potentially harm or affect someone.” 

Bhavini Patel (23) is a young Indian American female who hopes to spread representation and love to any people of color by sharing her experiences authentically. She, too, shared what “Rising Up” means to her: “I want to pave the way for POC to risk it all for their unconventional dreams that their families don't understand. I also want to show others how capable we are as leaders in social justice.”

All of the Power Band winners are great examples of everyday digital heroes. Being a changemaker is about the small, daily choices we make and the impact it has on those around us. Anyone is capable, and by rising up together, we can continue to make a positive impact online and offline.

Speaking of using digital for good, did you know that we host an annual event where we showcase student innovators?! Digital4Good highlights students who are doing their part to increase online positivity, spread awareness of digital wellness, and using their platform to do something good for their campus or community. We connect them with large social and tech companies to gain exclusive 1-on-1 mentorship with key experts in their industry. Not only do they get to learn from these mentors, they get to share their message or project with our audience and network of over 10K people! Our Digital4Good Sharks (mentors) will help them with their marketing, business planning, social media plans, tips on public speaking, how to expand their project/message, and so much more. 

 

If you have a project or you know a student who does and uses their platform to make a change in the digital world, then please fill out this Digital4Good Nomination form before Jan 31st, 2022 for a chance to be a selected winner!
