School to Swoosh is Nike’s initiative designed to support and elevate the next generation of creative talent. Built on three pillars, the initiative creates meaningful access to the creative industry through direct connection, practical learning, and real-world exposure.
One of these pillars is the School to Swoosh Mentorship Program, a six-month experience connecting ambitious emerging creatives with Nike Brand Creative professionals who help shape their path and sharpen their direction.
