Snapchat is accepting applications* for our first Council for Digital Well-Being, an 18-month pilot program for young people in the U.S. between the ages 13 and 16.

We are eager to hear from Generation Z as to their strategies for thriving online, promoting strong digital well-being, and continuing to make Snapchat a safer, healthier, and more enjoyable place for connection and creativity. That’s why we’re piloting this council: to gain diverse perspectives from youth across the country on the state of life online today, as well as their hopes and ideals for even more positive and rewarding experiences.

Interested teens between the ages of 13 and 16 living in the United States should complete and submit this online application by close of business (5:00 P.M. Pacific Time) on Friday, March 22.

In addition to some basic information, the application calls for either essay or video responses to questions about social media use and online life generally, as well as expectations for the council experience, and experience with and views of the Snapchat app and Snap as a company. All personal information will be handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy. 

The program will feature monthly calls, project work, an in-person summit at Snap's headquarters in Santa Monica, CA in the first year, and a more public event in the second year, showcasing the teens’ knowledge and learning.

For questions about the council or planned activities, contact platform-safety@snapchat.com.
