Getting Started

Our Why

7 out of 10 young people reported feeling depressed during the pandemic.

People shouldn't feel hopeless or lack the support they need. Spotlight exists to bring people together where everyone can amplify their voices and genuinely feel their contribution.More than ever, the world must pursue sincere social and environmental change. We aim to provide a home base where we can spark betterment. We are women-founded and led. Architected with a maternal hand, we exist to inform wellness and open pathways to equity. We spent 3 years in Research and Development to study the breaking points and trends around: 
1. Unhealthy social network experiences and lack of space to grow social capital 
2. The breakaway from writing checks to modern philanthropy where we give, do, share, inspire, and learn as all methods of giving back 
3. The new demand that businesses step up and fix, solve, and create more sustainability and goodness

We hope our solution solves any shared pains we felt trying to give back.

Step 1: Download and Install

Go to the APP store on your iOS device and search "Spotlight XYZ," or use this link here to find and download the app. 

In this guide, we will walk you through onboarding. 

Step 2: Personal Profile Setup

Woohoo! Let's sign you up for your PERSONAL profile. Launch it once you have the app downloaded, and let's onboard.

Note: You may create an organizational profile after creating your personal profile.

Step 3: Account Info

To get started, you will need to input your:
- name- email address- password- cell phone number- general age range

Note: We believe in privacy and do not sell your personal information. 

Disclosure: You must be at least 18 years old to create an account with Spotlight.

Step 4: Onboarding 2FA

We want real people to have access to Spotlight. That means we want to eliminate bots and fake accounts. So, the 2FA is one step toward keeping Spotlight safer and authentic. 

Note: After you submit your cell number on the first page, you will receive a text with a code to input on the next page so you can move forward in the sign up process. 

Step 5: Profile Personalization

These steps help you to personalize your profile. 

1. First, pick your Bullhorns. We call causes: bullhorns to remind everyone that these issues need our voices. Our goal is to create a shared bond between you and others who feel passionate about this issue.

2. Second, pick your Channels. Channels help to suggest content and Spots (our version of blogs) around what matters to support your goals around lifelong learning.

3. Third, pick your Core Values. Here we ask you to be introspective. Values are essential to better alignment with the causes, nonprofits, brands, and content that informs wellness and shapes culture. So, by sharing yours, we can all get a better viewpoint on building bridges collectively toward positive solutions.

Note: Nothing you choose here is set in stone. You may edit your preferences later and revisit as needed. 

Step 6: You Are In

That's it. You are in and ready to advocate for what you care about.
We can't wait to bear witness to the great things that you will do here within this virtual community and how that will impact real life.
Be resilient. Stay awesome.
