Social Media & Personal Branding

Your Name. Your Reputation. Your Future.
Making Smart Choices on Social Media

The Ernie Banks Foundation offers an engaging lecture and interactive workshop that empowers youth to use social media responsibly while building a positive personal brand. Participants learn how their online presence can influence future opportunities, including college admissions, scholarships, employment, athletics, and leadership roles.

Inspired by Ernie Banks' legacy of integrity, respect, and character, this program teaches students how to protect their digital reputation, make thoughtful decisions before posting, safeguard their privacy, and use social media as a platform to showcase their talents, accomplishments, and positive contributions.

Through real life examples, interactive discussions, and practical strategies, youth leave with the knowledge and confidence to represent themselves with purpose, responsibility, and pride both online and in everyday life.Available as a keynote presentation, school assembly, classroom session, youth group program, or interactive workshop.
