Our User Advisory Team
The Euki User Advisory Team (UAT) brings together a diverse cohort of Euki App users to co-create the app's content, features, and design directly alongside Euki's product and design team. It's a paid, 12-month opportunity to shape a tool used by people around the world, and to build practical product management, design, critical thinking and team building skills. The team meets virtually committing 2-3 hours of a month, and members receive a stipend for their participation.
Applications to join the 2027 cohort are officially closed.

Here’s what previous members Have said:
“I felt very involved in the project ... They worked really hard to ensure that we were included every step of the way with development and really listened to our ideas and suggestions.”
“My favorite part about being a member of the Euki User Advisory Team was knowing how much the project will affect people’s lives. I enjoyed ... how easy and low-commitment the whole experience was.”
“Each time we met, the organizers would either show us how they incorporated our opinions or explain why they opted for something else, which provided a lot of transparency that isn’t always afforded to young people... It was validating to see our impact on the final project.”
