A global community and catalyst for connection and mentorship
The Collective is the virtual home for the Jackson Wild global storytelling community to connect, collaborate and inspire change year-round. Through ongoing mentorship, an international production database and career-building programs, the Collective provides resources for storytellers at all levels to elevate their impact and expand their opportunities.
The Collective is a free and private community, and membership is approved on an individual basis. To join the community, click here to submit an application. Once approved, as a member of the Collective, you will have access to build your own profile, browse the global production database, check out the jobs/opportunities board and more!
If you have been a Jackson Wild Media Awards finalist, or have been recommended to the Collective by a Board member or Mentor, you will be noted as a Collective Referred Member in the database. If you would like to be considered for our referral program, please email angelica@jacksonwild.org
The Collective is committed to cultivating equity in science and nature storytelling and is made possible through the support of the Jackson Wild Board of Directors with additional funding from National Geographic Society, HHMI Tangled Bank Studios and the Cornell Douglas Foundation.
We want to give a big thank you to the members of our Action Coalitions as well as the Collective Committee — Sarah Joseph, Brooke Runnette and Jacqueline Farmer — for their instrumental role in bringing this initiative to life.
