The yMedia Challenge connects students with non-profit organizations to develop digital media projects over 8 weeks. Students gain practical experience working with mentors from industry professionals. Mentors commit 1-2 hours per week to guide student teams and represent their agency. In return, mentors gain exposure for their agency brand, access to new talent, and opportunities to support their community. The goal is for students to create innovative digital solutions that help non-profits, while gaining skills and industry connections.

Your level of involvement
How much time do I need to commit?
• At the beginning of the Challenge, Monday 14 June, we ask that you
allow a couple of hours to attend a meet and great session with your
student team and their not for profit organisation to help define the brief
and the development process
• From there, we ask that you spend a minimum of one hour per week
with the student team. This could be in person, on the phone or
through email—whatever works for you and your team
What am I able to do for the student team?
You are there as a sounding board for advice and guidance; and to
act as a first point of contact for the student team if they are getting
stuck.
You could:
• Offer feedback on their idea
• Offer direction and guidance with their project ie. time
management, charts, planning, deadlines, communication etc
• If possible, you could invite them into your office, perhaps offer them
a space to work, or offer them the opportunity to meet with a wider
team from your agency to get general feedback on their project
• Offer equipment for use
Please note: If at any time you feel that you are unable to help with a
specific question — there is a support team at yMedia who you can
refer the team onto, and we’ll do our best to provide the answer!
