Making It Count is not currently recruiting speakers. Please check back at a later date for updates.

• KEY TIP: We are looking for strong, upbeat, energetic, relatable, conversational speakers from the moment you begin your presentation! We also want to see that you hold this energy throughout!
• Video does NOT have to be created by a professional
• Video content is open to topic – should be something you are passionate about that will also engage high school students – we are looking for your ability to relate to the students
• Please STAND UP during your presentation
• Show your enthusiasm – pretend you are presenting to 500 high school students in an auditorium
• We do not use podiums – please show us your ability to “work the room”
• An introduction to your presentation is not necessary – please set your video to begin with your actual presentation
• Professional acting/comedy/news anchor clippings or stories may not truly showcase your ability to present with an engaging, conversational style – please try to avoid these types of submissions)
