Students to Gain Real-World Influencer Experience Through Wonderful Foundations’ FieldTrip Partnership with Eleven
From the runway to classrooms, Wonderful Foundations and Eleven LATAM – Directors Board are bringing influencer-focused workshops to schools
LOS ANGELES, Oct. 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Students are about to experience something rarely found in schools: an influencer workshop inside the classroom. Wonderful Foundations’ FieldTrip initiative has partnered with Eleven LATAM Costa Rica S.R.L., which recently launched The Directors Board, made up of leaders from Ford Models, LA Models, Mavrick Artists, and Eleven Model Management. Through this collaboration, kids will have the opportunity to take part in Influence the Future, a donor-funded enrichment program designed to build courage, collaboration, and creative confidence while helping them understand how today’s media and influencers shape culture.
The partnership with Eleven LATAM – Directors Board, LA Models, and Mavrick Artist Agency adds an unexpected yet unique layer of industry expertise into FieldTrip’s mission of bringing real-world learning experiences to students at no cost to families or schools.
Through Influence the Future, students will step in front of the camera for workshops led by facilitators from Eleven LATAM – Directors Board, who bring firsthand expertise in content creation and storytelling. These interactive sessions introduce kids to the creator economy by equipping them with practical tools to brainstorm, storyboard, produce, and share their own short-form video content.
“Influence the Future isn’t just about teaching kids how to make content,” said Troy Snyder, Founder of Wonderful Foundations. “It’s about showing them that what they’re already interested in has real value. Kids are watching, creating, and dreaming about this stuff every day, and even colleges are building programs around it.”
FieldTrip debuted nationwide in August and is rolling out across Wonderful Foundations’ growing network of schools, serving more than 15,000 kids across the country during the 2025–2026 school year.
