Digital Innovation & Media Impact

Equipping youth with digital skills, advocacy tools, and research experience to drive change.

Why It Matters

​​

Today’s youth are digital natives. At Club Stride, we help them channel that fluency into skills that matter—from digital marketing to advocacy campaigns to youth-led research. Our programs teach students not only how to use technology, but how to shape conversations, challenge inequities, and influence decision-making in their schools and communities.

Club Stride Training youth in social media marketing

Program Pillars

DIGITAL MARKETING
TRAINING

Students learn hands-on skills in social media, content creation, branding, and campaign strategy.

Through bootcamps and mentorship, they create professional-quality media that prepares them for jobs, internships, and entrepreneurial ventures.

Impact: Youth gain $2,000 worth of digital marketing training—at no cost to them.

DIGITAL ADVOCACY: CIVIC MEDIA

From podcasts to video campaigns, youth harness digital platforms to advocate for safer schools, mental health resources, equity in education, and more. They learn how to use media to lift their voices and influence policy.


Impact: Youth-produced campaigns have reached thousands online, sparking conversations across schools and neighborhoods.

YOUTH RESEARCH
& DATA

Through participatory research, students collect data, run surveys, and analyze community issues. They use findings to shape campaigns, inform school policy, and provide decision-makers with authentic youth perspectives.


Impact: Youth-led research has informed city and school district initiatives, giving young people a direct role in shaping solutions.

A Continuum of Digital Impact

​

Together, these three pillars create a pipeline where students:

  1. Learn technical skills (marketing, design, analytics)

  2. Create powerful campaigns that amplify their voices

  3. Back it with research that strengthens their impact

​

​​​​​​​This integration ensures students don’t just consume media—they create it, use it, and lead with it.
