CREATE ·2022 Grants ChallengeThe Center for Creative Workforce Equity (The Center)
Grants funds will sustain & expand our new Center for Creative Workforce equity Film & Digital Media (F&DM) program, piloted in 2021 and refined in 2022. In this program, low-income youth of color, current and former foster youth, justice-involved and/or LGBTQ youth receive training in the creative industry skills needed for internships and first jobs. In a radical rethinking of how to build equity and opportunity in the arts and entertainment, young people are supported to fully commit to their education by being compensated while they learn.

Creative Pathways
Grants funds will support the integration of our existing Creative Pathways (CP) college and career readiness activities with our new Film & Digital Media Pilot (F&DM) program. In this program, low-income youth of color, current and former foster youth, justice-involved and/or LGBTQ youth receive training in the creative industry skills needed for internships and first jobs. We hope that by helping young people overcome systemic barriers to entry, they will be empowered to find career success diversifying the voices in LA’s creative workforce.
