When you join Spoon, you get to learn a lot about marketing, photography, writing, and making videos. You don’t have to be a professional to do any of these things. We are always learning, and we will help you improve your skills and give you feedback! You don’t even have to stick to one area, you can always learn the skills of any other one, or all of them. Using our platform Secret Sauce, you can train to utilize different mediums. For example, you can be both a photographer and a writer, or double as a marketer and a videographer!

Spoon University has nearly 300 chapters around the world in more than 200 cities. Spoon University’s VCU chapter is fairly new, and it’s growing more and more every day!
