Silver Spark Sponsorship
The Silver Spark Sponsorship is a powerful way to make a direct and personal impact. Your contribution fully funds the paid internship for one talented young adult, providing them with a transformative career opportunity while simultaneously delivering a full suite of pro-bono marketing services to a deserving local small business.
Spark Internship Overview
The Spark Internship Program by Fourth Gen Labs is our commitment to building the next generation of talent. Each year, we create a paid, hands-on learning environment where young adults tackle real-world challenges, develop in-demand professional skills, and make a tangible impact on our community. The program is designed to bridge the gap between academic knowledge and practical application, ensuring participants are not just ready for a job, but poised for a successful career.
2026 Theme Description: Brand Builders
The 2026 theme, "Brand Builders," addresses a critical need in our local economy. This intensive 10-week program will train a cohort of interns to become proficient digital storytellers using a suite of cutting-edge generative AI tools, including ChatGPT, Canva, Suno, and CapCut. Each intern will be paired with a local small business, acting as their dedicated marketing consultant. They will develop and execute a complete two-month content strategy, providing these businesses with professional-grade branding assets that they could not otherwise afford.
