Join our User Advisory Team
The Euki User Advisory Team is a diverse cohort responsible for co-creating Euki’s content, features, and design with the Euki product and design team. The team meets virtually and commits up to 5-10 hours a month to the project for six months. Team members receive a stipend for their valued participation.
*Applications open again in June 2024.
Here’s what users have to say about their experience:
“I felt very involved in the project with Ibis. They worked really hard to ensure that we were included every step of the way with development and really listened to our ideas and suggestions.”
“My favorite part about being a member of the Euki User Advisory Team was knowing how much the project will affect people’s lives. I enjoyed ... how easy and low-commitment the whole experience was.”
“Each time we met, the organizers would either show us how they incorporated our opinions or explain why they opted for something else, which provided a lot of transparency that isn’t always afforded to young people... It was validating to see our impact on the final project.”
