Student Ambassador Program
The name reflects its mission: Buy Local, Powered by Locals.
From the beginning, we knew this project could only grow authentically and sustainably if it was built with the community and for the community. And no one represents the energy, creativity, and future of a city better than its students.
Empowering Communities and the Next Generation
ByLocal brings local businesses and opportunities together in one platform, helping communities grow while giving students a meaningful way to get involved.
Through hyper-local, geolocation-based teams, students gain real-world experience and support local businesses with fresh energy and local insight.
ByLocal strengthens local economies, connects generations, and builds the future together, with all student roles fully compliant with local labor regulations.

01
Content creator
Some students will choose to become content creators, producing short videos that highlight local stores, restaurants, and service providers. They are compensated for each video they deliver, learning how to tell authentic stories that promote their neighborhoods
02
Commercial
Others may prefer to develop their commercial skills by visiting local businesses, presenting the platform, and selling subscriptions or ad space. They receive commissions on sales, gaining confidence in face-to-face communication and entrepreneurship.
03
Back-office
A third group will focus on managing the digital presence of local businesses, assisting them with onboarding, uploading images and links, designing promotional materials, sending marketing emails, scheduling push notifications, and keeping local calendars updated. They are paid hourly and gain valuable operational and organizational experience.
04
Boost - Digital Agency
Students can also join ByLocal Boost, a community-driven digital marketing initiative powered by local teens. They support small businesses with social media content, simple ads, and youth-led videos, guided by the ByLocal team and supervised by senior staff. This gives students real-world marketing experience while helping local businesses grow.
