Mission: Students of the world has been in operation for more than 15 years, dedicated tothe mission of working with emerging creative to tell stories of progress fromaround the world using creative tools such as film, design and photography.
Programs: We continued the pedal south fiscal sponsorship while the team continued their bike ride down from alaska to argentina. Along the route, the team of sotw alumni would capture photo and video content that they used upon the completion of their trip in 2016 to create a feature length documentary about their experiences. We also worked with the sotw community and school chapters to cultivate productionopportunities around the country. Most notably, we worked with our chapter at dukeuniversity to support coordinating a screening on campus of the films that theycreated shining a light on progress in their community. We also worked with ouruniversity of texas chapter to help them host a documentary film festival on theircampus by providing coordination and social media support to drive participation. We worked with the all-american high school film festival to create and sponsor anaward for best documentary in their annual film festival competition. It was anopportunity for founder, courtney spence to present the award on stage, meet thewinners and to give a talk to the high school filmmaker audience about the missionand work of students of the world. We also worked to rebuild and launch the membership area of the sotw website sothat it would be easier to grow and support our community online. This included arefresh of our home page, and building a database on the back end to supportinformation collection.

I work for a big media company that has done a fair amount of work with this organization. My best advice, buyer beware. Quality of work is sub-par and performance was atrocious at best. Clearly much better groups to work with.
Review from Guidestar
This is a poorly managed non-profit that does not accurately represent itself as a public charity.
