Norfolk Street Team

It’s been fascinating to learn about the different aspects of marketing. I’ve gained interview skills that I’ll be able to use throughout my whole life. Personally, I feel like the experiences I’ve had on the Street Team are among some of the coolest experiences I’ve had during high school.

I loved being able to see all the behind-the-scenes action, so now I know how much hard work and time goes into even the smallest details.

It was a great experience and I learned a lot. It was great to get out in the community and to see the different businesses. I was able to learn a lot about marketing and to gain skills that will be very valuable moving forward.

Now I have a bit more experience about the inner workings of the smaller parts that go into this giant project.

I think this program teaches kids how to work together and how to use real world resources that most kids don’t get to see in high school. It was my favorite thing I did in high school and wish I could do it again and learned so much just from the experience.

Signing up to be part of the Street Team has been one of the best decisions I have made in high school. This opportunity taught me a lot of important skills and I met some amazing people. I look forward to encouraging others to become part of the Street Team!

This program exposed me to Norfolk Now, which is a great resource.

My future position would have all those different departments and helping them take there different sides, and bringing it into one big project, which is what we did here learning to bring all the different marketing aspects together.

I liked being able to see the whole project, from the small details to the big finish.

I know I can grow from this program because I have that experience now, and all those connections.

I learned new skills throughout this entire process, and now there is also that opportunity if I wanted, to start my own business.

The Norfolk Daily News enjoyed working with the high school and college students. The Norfolk Street Team concept is a creative and effective way to involve students in a meaningful way and bring fresh perspectives to the promotion of an important topic or endeavor.

Being on the Street Team was a great experience for me educationally. It was good to get my feet wet in the business and marketing world to see if it was something I’d like to do for my career. It was a great program for me to gain knowledge and I loved working with all the businesses inside my hometown.

What I really look forward to, are the opportunities that my son will have to learn and participate in his education. To see him thrive and grow in a community that has programs and educational opportunities like the Norfolk Street Team has me excited for his future.

I really enjoyed learning about how radio and TV commercials work, and how storytelling can be impacting. I think all students should be a part of the career academies because I never joined one when I was in high school, and it would have really helped me to decide my college major.

I thought the Street Team project was an excellent way to introduce students to the process of creating a marketing project. The students took a great deal of pride in what they created because of the ownership component. The educational value cannot be overstated.

How exciting for the students to have this opportunity, and for our community to have a fantastic program such as the Norfolk Street Team.

We have gained new experiences and knowledge, and it was amazing to have businesses guide us. I hope many other students can enjoy being part of the Street Team.
