The youth of today have interests and challenges that are unique to their generation. Our signs are designed by high school students to meet the needs and interests of high school students. Our young influencers were trained in the social-emotional issues of the day, graphic design, and communication. They are an integral part of our team, which includes a veteran teacher and graphic designers, and utilize the consultation of mental health professionals.
A Summer of Growth: Teens Creating Content for Teens
To ensure relevance and impact, the interns—guided by our leadership training—researched issues that resonate with high school students, such as body image, peer pressure, bullying, and loneliness. They wrote motivational quotes, crafted entertaining trivia questions and designed attention grabbing templates with the guidance of an award-winning, retired graphic designer.
The result? Professionally designed digital signs that are uplifting, educational, and fun for students nationwide. The collaborative process also strengthened the interns’ writing, grammar, and design skills, equipping them with valuable tools for their futures.
Making a Lasting Impact
As a commitment to empowering future leaders, SCS will place 10% of its first-year profits into a seed fund to be divided among the interns. In addition, SCS is offering its SCEDS product free to schools through the end of January 2025, ensuring its positive impact is accessible to all.
