Join the BuzzFeed College Creator Lab: Summer 2026 What this is: A paid summer creator program for college students who want to make content for the internet that millions of people actually see. You'll create BuzzFeed posts using AI-powered tools, work alongside our editorial team, and earn money for every piece you publish.

What you'll do: You'll use BuzzFeed's AI content tools to pitch, create, and publish posts across quizzes, lists, and trending content. Every post you publish that makes it through our editorial process earns you money (up to $600/week). Outside of the first-week onboarding, you set your own schedule - work when and where you want, and get paid for what you make. You'll also have access to BuzzFeed's New York or Los Angeles office for optional brainstorms, editorial workshops, and events with our team throughout the summer. What you'll get:

• Published work under your own byline on one of the internet's most recognizable brands

• Self-motivated; nobody's going to chase you to hit a quota, but the opportunity is there if you want it
• Available for the summer program window (roughly June–August 2026)

Big plus: You're comfortable on camera, have experience creating video or social content, and/or have an existing social media presence. We're always looking for creators who can bring ideas to life across platforms. Requirements:

• Must provide your own laptop/computer and high-speed internet access.
• Must be available for the full first week of June for mandatory program onboarding and tool training. The onboarding week is paid and in-person in either the New York or Los Angeles office.

You'll be asked to provide the links to your posts when you complete the application. SO, PLEASE SUBMIT YOUR COMMUNITY POSTS PRIOR TO COMPLETING THIS APPLICATION! We encourage you to check our Trending page to see examples of posts that reflect what we're looking for, and to take note of the variety of topics and formats.
