Who: Compassionate, creative volunteers ages 18+
What: Work alongside Million Little Facilitators to bring art-based, trauma-informed social emotional learning to transitional age youth (TAY).
When: Program runs afternoons, TBD for 12 weeks during the Spring.
Where: Palmdale, CA
If selected, you will support ML Facilitators to bring Creative Leadership to TAY in Palmdale. Creative Leadership is a 12-week program in which participants unleash their inner artist, explore careers, and hone soft and hard skills to take the next steps toward their future.
Million Little firmly believes that young people have the drive, creativity, and power to achieve any goal. We also recognize that systemic and social barriers can prevent these capable youth from experiencing the life they aim to build. Creative Leadership works to bridge gaps and support participants in building job-readiness skills while exploring creativity and pursuing possibilities for their future. Graduates of Creative Leadership grow into dynamic agents of change in their communities and inspire us every day.
