PORTLAND — Maine’s credit unions recently announced they have launched their second search for a creative, tech-savvy individual to represent Generation Y (ages 18 to 25) as the “Spokester” for their Young & Free Maine program.
Connecting with young people through social media networks, local events and more, the spokester will continue to develop entertaining educational content, tips and tools to help members of Generation Y manage their day-today lives and finances.
The program’s first spokester, Seth Poplaski, will complete his one-year term in June.
“It’s been a busy year for Maine’s first Young & Free spokester, Seth Poplaski. From blogging about everything from food to football to finances, and driving the bright green Chevy Cruz throughout the state, he’s been making a real connection with Maine’s 25 and under crowd,” John Murphy, president/CEO of Maine Credit Union League, said in a news release. “As his eventful year comes to an end, we’re looking for someone who’s creative, energetic and outgoing, someone who can use social media to connect with their peers, get involved in the community and continue to share all that Maine’s credit unions have to offer this generation.”
From now until April 20, people between the ages of 18 and 25 are invited to apply for the job as the Young & Free Maine spokester. To enter, applicants must submit a 60- second YouTube video and write a blog post that demonstrates their writing, editing and creative skills. The videos and blog posts will be posted at www.YoungFreeMaine.com. Maine’s credit unions will narrow the submissions down to three finalists. The winner will then be selected by an online vote by the public, which will take place from May 4 to 17.
The winner will be announced by May 30.
