Affiliate Partnership & Career Pathway

Interns in the Level Up for Local network gain more than valuable experience — they gain a real opportunity to earn
income through the Community Marketplace Affiliate Partnership Program. This innovative initiative connects learning
with earning by rewarding participants who help small businesses, charities, and community organizations grow through
digital visibility, social engagement, and local partnership programs.

Through this paid performance system, interns develop real-world skills in client account management, content marketing,
and partnership development. Many move on to roles in account management, regional coordination, or local business
representation — and for those who show leadership, there are ongoing opportunities for franchise ownership and chapter
development within the Local Community Marketplace.

Across North America, there are over 33 million small and mid-sized businesses, employing more than 60 % of the
workforce and driving over half of private-sector GDP. Yet, according to succession studies, nearly 50 % of these
business owners plan to retire within the next 10 years, creating a historic transfer of opportunity.

This wave of change opens doors for the next generation — young, community-minded leaders who can blend digital skills
with local entrepreneurship to help business owners transition gracefully into retirement while keeping their legacies
alive. At the same time, every business — from restaurants and gyms to retailers and local service providers — now depends
on high-quality media, social engagement, and digital storytelling to stay relevant.

Interns trained in this program become the backbone of that transition — helping local commerce evolve through creativity,
technology, and community-driven marketing.

The Affiliate Partnership Program ensures that those who contribute to this transformation can earn sustainably while
learning, creating a clear pathway toward career growth, business ownership, and local leadership.
