Scholarships & Paid Internships
There is a growing list of mystifying theories in the wake of this pandemic. Some people think there is a link between coronavirus and 5G wireless technology while some are still in denial calling the virus a hoax. Some say it emerged from nature based on genetic analysis. However, some believe its a big pharma made-in-the-lab for-profit scheme.
Amidst the confusion and propagation of misinformation, our blackest and brownest communities certainly have the highest number of COVID-19 casualties. Some families cannot even afford to bury their loved ones in dignity. To make matters worse, about 26 million Americans lost their jobs in the past five weeks. Most Americans affected by this pandemic, do not have an emergency fund that covers at least three months of expenses.
We are now living in a time of uncertainty of life after COVID-19. How can we support working Americans to get back to the norm? What can we do to restore jobs and salvage our teetering economy?
To assist, our charity – ProtectAllKids created a crisis relief program. Our project entails an Economy Stabilization Initiative and a Public Health Protection Plan. Under our Economy Stabilization Initiative, we created a platform for new online scholarships and internships for students who weren’t able to secure a 2020 summer internship because of the outbreak.
We partnered with Amazon Web Services and Oracle Taleo – the world’s most used job recruitment platform and largest Applicant Tracking System to bring these jobs to American residents during this grueling time. We also partnered with Paychex – our nation’s best payroll provider for new businesses.
The average salary of our new employees is $3,000 for up to 3 months. Paychex will ensure our new hires receive their paychecks on time.
Creative American Award
In honor of our military service members affected by the COVID-19 outbreak, our charity created the $250,000 Creative American Award. We launched the Creative American Award to encourage Americans to tap into their creative skillset.
During this lockdown, we encourage Americans to get creative. Participants can submit their talent or new business ventures on our page for contestants. Americans will vote and pick the winner of our $250,000 grand prize.
The dollar value of each vote is a quarter of a penny. Be as creative as you can. Show the people that your talent or business idea will contribute to our economy. Impress the Americans to win big.
Tutor of the Month Award
At ProtectAllKids, we believe that we are a nation of pioneers; with the right platform and resources, we will rise above this pandemic. We created the Tutor of The Month Award to encourage Americans to learn new skills during this lockdown, share their knowledge, and promote meaningful education.
Participants can also win $10,000 Tutor of the Month Award by sharing knowledge through educative tweets using our Charity’s mention @ProtectAllKids and our hashtags #Protectallkids.org #ProtectAllKidsTalent, ProtectAllKidsEducation, #ProtectAllKidsAward, and #TutorOfTheMonth. We will use Twitter’s hashtag tracking tool to pick our top contributor. At the end of the month, the scholar with the most educative tweets using our hashtags wins.
Our charity’s job and scholarship program is part of our Economy Stabilization Initiative. One of the main scholarships is the $250,000 Creative American Award. Our charity will award this scholarship to the most creative idea initiated during this pandemic. The winner will use the funds to start a profitable business, brand, and talent development, fulfill purchase orders, and or create jobs if need be.
Our scholarship program also covers five major fields of study; finance, engineering, creative design, healthcare, and sales/advertising. We require our employees to stay at home, learn a new skill, and earn a certificate from our scholarship program.
Here are some short-term certificate training programs that can help Americans jumpstart a good-paying career after the pandemic.

Reduce the number of domestic violence cases
There is a high probability that the more people we hire, the lesser the number of domestic violence cases. Reason being that our new employees will occupy their time with our charity’s new paying online jobs. Family members can feel at ease, stay sane and stick together.
Pay bills
The cost of living in some cities like NYC is very high. Our new employees can use their salary from our charity to pay rent, utilities, and cover other living expenses.

Who’s eligible to apply to our jobs?
Our charity created these internships for students and new grads who weren’t able to secure a job or 2020 summer internship because of the COVID-19 outbreak, and for unemployed Americans who do not receive unemployment benefits. We accept applications from every job seeker authorized to work in America regardless of their educational background or prior work experience.
Our charity embraces the concept of giving everyone a deserving chance. In addition to receiving employees’ salaries, you will receive our training license that you will use to learn new skills. Skills that will make you indispensable to a company.
Funds from our Donors
We are dedicating our $1 million kick off funds to support our scholarship disbursement and job hiring process. We know how it feels to get stuck in a situation, hoping and praying that someone out there comes through for you. There are so many donations, loans, grants, and bailout checks for small businesses and large corporations. However, there are barely any relief funds for students and job seekers who do not qualify for one of the many available grants. Everyone deserves a helping hand. Thus, we created the most comprehensive, all-inclusive crisis relief plan.
Funds raised from Guinness world record competition
Competition breeds success! As part of our strategy to meet our fundraising goals, we are competing for three Guinness World Record titles.
The first competition is for the most money raised online for charity in 24 hours. The second competition is for the most money raised online in 24 hours by an individual campaign, and the third competition is for the most individual donations on a single platform in 24 hours.
For us to successfully beat the current world record holders – PayPal Inc., UK’s Mr. Sutton, and China respectively, we must raise $46 million by 106,000 individuals in 24 hours.
We are raffling off one thousand $5000 gift cards to encourage donors to take part in our GWR competition. We will select 1000 winners at random on a first-come-first-serve basis. The sooner you donate to our crisis relief campaign, the higher your chances of winning one of our gifts.
Please Donate Now to help us win these titles to support our new jobs and scholarships. A win for us is a win for every American.
Inter-State competition
Our charity will host an inter-state competition. We will select the winning State based on the total amount of funds raised by each State. We will also consider the ratio of the total number of donors to the population of each State. Through our donor-reward program, we will dedicate 20% of the total funds raised to residents and supporters of the State that raised the most amount of funds. Our interstate competition will motivate more Americans and supporters of our mission to take part in our fundraising campaign.
