Do you have an internal drive to be the change you wish to see in your community? Are you looking for an internship or volunteer opportunity that will enable you to gain real-world experience, while at the same time have a drastic impact on the mental health of students?
We are CURRENTLY seeking ambitious and creative people with an unyielding passion for teens, to help drive change in the Greater Atlanta community. Our programs allows the opportunity to work alongside leadership, interns, consultants, and students as we produce campaigns and learning experiences that voice our position on mental health awareness in at-risk communities, social and emotional wellbeing, the arts, education, and civic involvement.

At Live2Create, we believe the arts in and of itself are therapeutic. We also believe that faith is fuel for survival and that something internally happens when you engage in the creative process, whether that’s healing, understanding, acceptance, freedom, or just simply experiencing who you are and who you were created to be. We are open to all candidates that want to make a difference in our students lives, regardless of race, identity, religious affiliation, creed or background, but prefer individuals that carry our core values.

Founded on Christian principles, our core values are used as a guide to manage ourselves and interpersonal relationships with others. These core values include:

• Integrity: We are honest and transparent in our decisions and actions. We follow through with commitments and conduct ourselves in ways that are true to Christian principles.
• Leadership: . We strive to build a stronger Black community with the collective benefit of advancing equity.
• We lead by example and inspire social and emotional change through our behavior. We take full responsibility for developing the leadership potential of our youth, members, and partners.
• Accountability: We strive to live out Christian values and act on them. Responsibility is an ethical theory, in which individuals are accountable for fulfilling their purpose; the actions of an individual must benefit the makeup of their entire being.
• Creativity: Creativity is a gift from God. It’s therapeutic and the creative process is a growth producing experience. It is an essential component of vibrant communities and what makes us unique; therefore we use our creativity to glorify God.
• Excellence: We deliver the highest quality performance in everything we do. We are not shaped by the labels of society and strive for excellence. Through self, internal, and external assessments, we seek to continuously improve.
• Understanding: We are empathetically aware and forgiving of one another and the world we live in, walking in love and truth together to accomplish one mission and vision.
• Perseverance: We are building a stronger Black community with the collective benefit of advancing equity. We exhibit self-control and face adversity head on. Our faith is the cornerstone for which we stand; we use the mind, body, soul and spirit to overcome challenges we face.
