What is the One Strong Page?
This account @onestrong is considered part of the One Strong Page.
The @onestrong page earns Hive, Hive Power, and Hive-Engine tokens through Author, Curation, and Play to Earn Rewards on the Hive blockchain. By managing this Hive account, the program can offer internships to creators and profile managers that build on creative and financial skills. It will also give the foundation extra liquidity to back its scholarship token through OST.
The foundation seeks to further its mission to expand access to creative, educational, and economic resources through membership, contribution, or other forms of participation in One Strong Foundation-funded events, programs, and activities.
Announcing the One Strong Community Program Internship
The foundation applied for and received funding from the Chicopee Cultural Council during their 2023 Grant Cycle Season.
This funding will allow the One Strong Community Program to host our first internship program enlisting a new blogger/hive account to the community as a contributor.
Chicopee Students need opportunities to prove their maturity, skill, and talents after the distress we have felt the last few years. With COVID, many opportunities to get out and receive experience in the workforce have become more challenging. Interns will gain a network of professionals to acquire leadership experience and the benefit of performing non-profit work, art programming, and media management.
Organizational Work: Students collaborate with the Community Leader on the weekly agenda.
Interns will provide tabling events, host activities, and create a post on their objective and a deadline to meet to complete the project.
Non-Profit Work: Students are overlooking and compiling information to assist the ability of the Foundation to conduct charitable work.
Media Management: Interns will receive hands-on experience creating written and visual media.
Under the leadership of the organization and the Career Center, the Interns will receive experience in media management, community building, and charitable work.
The One Strong Foundation wishes to take in funds to host and train interns to contribute to its website and offer opportunities to potential “community leaders” for its school-age programs.
The One Strong Community Program facilitates the program and invites high school students as “interns” for ten weeks to contribute hours to lesson planning, hosting, and creating media on activities for the program’s One Strong Page website.
The One Strong Page website hosts blogs, videos, and information on community activities, art projects, events, and other One Strong Community Program updates.
During the internship, students will assist the program’s business:
- in creating content on the website,
- maintaining current programming & grant literature,
- and organizing intern-planned events & activities.
The proposal seeks and applies for grant funds to financially back the distribution of a “Creative Economy Asset.” This supplementary scholarship token allows participants in the program access to liquid cash through an exchange of this asset. This “creative economy asset” is known as “One Strong Token” or OST.
Interns will receive OST for their valued participation in the programming for media creation or youth program contributing hours. “Contributing Hours” blogs during this session will revolve around seasonal trends and activities and introduce the program. Interactions and contributions to the site determine the amount of OST awarded.
This internship program will train and guide students on the website to create Hive accounts to receive the token. As students complete their internship, they receive OST based on their score in the rubric. The One Strong Foundation can cash out newly issued OST directly in USD.
Each intern’s work receives a grade against a “rubric of completion and quality.” The rubric will consider the intern's contributions to completing the weekly artistic, cultural, or educational prompt. The students will have until the assigned Friday to complete their program pieces that receive consideration for publishing on the website.
What will the internship entail?
Students are tasked to assist with the future planning of this program and provide weekly updates to their respective pages in the One Strong Community.
Student interns will look into this opportunity because they will pay $500 upon program completion to participate in credit hours.
Any user with a Hive account is welcome to post into the One Strong Community Program's Hive Community.
What expectations are given to the students
- Prompt attendance and arrival at meeting times.
- Input during creative brainstorming and action sessions.
- Participation in Events tasked by the Program Director.
Students will be asked to maintain their work records for the One Strong Page on a timesheet Trello card.
The program seeks to promote the internship proudly through online interactions on the One Strong Page website. Students will receive creative prompts each week and be encouraged to let their friends and family know to share the content. The One Strong Page has multiple other social media platforms to showcase and access its work, such as Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.
One Strong will outreach to Chicopee Public Schools and have personalized social media platforms/pages for both high schools with their processes. It will also highlight the council’s assistance with this program by having the interns create and showcase an approved custom banner for the council.
