Create Now

Create Now empowers youth and young adults ages 3 to 24 through arts education, mentoring, career preparation, and therapeutic arts. Its programs support young people facing barriers to opportunity and may be delivered through schools, shelters, community centers, and partner agencies.

Classes and workshops cover music, creative writing, performing arts, digital media, visual arts, fashion, and culinary arts. Create Now also offers community events, cultural trips to concerts, plays, and museums, and career-focused opportunities that introduce youth to creative-industry pathways.
