Please visit the new page to apply.
For 23 years, Create Now has served more than 44,000 of the most vulnerable youth in Southern California. We empower kids from Pre-K to age 24 (transition-age youth) through high-quality programs in music, writing, performing arts, digital media, visual arts, fashion and culinary arts. We serve kids challenged by poverty, violence, homelessness and incarceration, and teach at-risk youth in Title 1, continuation and charter schools. Every year, Create Now brings thousands of children to concerts, plays and other cultural events at premier venues. We also produce community projects, like Power of the Arts Festivals and mural workshops.
We're excited to be the recipient of 100% of the proceeds from the 11th annual Psomas "Paper Yacht Challenge," a signature event in the heart of the Downtown Los Angeles business community. Psomas is one of the top-rated consulting engineering firms in the nation.
On Thursday, April 18 from 11:30-1:30 pm, this fun event will take place in the large fountain located at their City National Plaza twin tower complex on 5th and Flower. It will draw around 200+ people during prime-time. We'll have around 30 kids there from Union Rescue Mission shelter on Skid Row participating, along with foster youth from a group home in Pasadena.
While we have one photographer there from Create Now and Psomas will have their own photographers, we would like to have another person helping out since there will be a lot of activities to cover: face painting, kids making paper boats and racing them, Pinks, a magician, etc.
Please send your resume and sample photos if you are available and interested to info@createnow.org.
