    Do you like BuzzFeed, Instagram, and/or TikTok? Consider applying for the BuzzFeed News Teen Ambassadors project!

    "BuzzFeed News is seeking high school or first year college students with a gift for online storytelling for an exciting, paid opportunity to be a part of our election coverage.

    This is a chance to use our huge audience to create meaningful conversations about US politics. The ideal candidate should be creative, passionate about the upcoming election, and eager to show what 2020 means for them and their peers. Ambassadors will collaborate with BuzzFeed News editors to hone their news judgement and learn best practices for engaging and growing a social audience.

    While having a following already is not a must, we are looking for candidates who already have some experience making creative content or an eye for what works.

    This ambassadorship is remote, and we’re looking for people across the country, particularly in swing states or places that might be overlooked in the nationwide political conversation.

    Successful ambassadors will work with editors to create at least one video for Instagram stories or Tik Tok per week. Ambassadors will be paid a monthly stipend, and the ambassador program will last from the end of March until the election in November. We are willing to work with your school to ensure that you also receive academic credits."
