Student contributors

The Standard Project is built with students.

The Standard Project is built around the belief that young people have more to contribute than they often realize. That applies to TSP itself. Student Contributors bring their experiences, questions, ideas, and perspectives into the work, helping decide what we build, how we build it, and what the project becomes.

What contributors do

Students don't just respond to TSP. They build it.

Shape the Ideas

Help decide which questions, themes, and experiences TSP should explore, as well as how they should be approached.

who it's for

You do not need a title to contribute.

You do not need a title to contribute.

We’re looking for students who are thoughtful, curious, willing to speak honestly, and interested in helping build something for other young people. You do not need to be student body president, team captain, or the loudest person in the room. Different experiences and perspectives make the project better.

What to expect

Meaningful involvement without another huge commitment.

Student Contributors take part in occasional virtual conversations, develop ideas, help shape activities or materials, contribute perspective, and build the TSP experience alongside the broader team.

Build Together

Help develop ideas, activities, questions, and experiences.

Bring Your Perspective

Share what students are actually seeing, questioning, and navigating.

Shape What Comes Next

Help decide what TSP prioritizes and how it grows.
