Services

Create Now offers the widest variety of creative arts mentoring, education, resources and opportunities to the most diverse range of vulnerable youth with the largest geographic reach in Southern California. For the past 15 years, we have served over 27,000 of the neediest kids.

In addition to our creative arts mentoring programs, we send out regular notices about jobs, internships, scholarships and free resources to thousands of kids in our vast network of more than 1,000 youth agencies (shelters, group homes, detention facilities, special ed schools, etc.) that are located throughout the region.

For example, Create Now recently promoted a Youth Workforce Training Certificate Program through CII, family therapy by participating on a TV show, workshops for youth who want to start a nonprofit organization, and competitions in poetry, singing, art, photography, posters and essays, as well as free backpacks with school supplies. Our fax and email blasts reach tens of thousands of the most troubled youth in our community.

We also match volunteers to be general mentors, teaching academics and vital life skills. This type of mentoring helps youth with learning how to go on a job interview, apply for college and to become independent, confident individuals. General mentoring can be arranged with small groups of youth or as one-on-one mentoring.

Create Now offers businesses and individuals the opportunity to give back to their community by donating materials and services to the most disadvantaged kids in Southern California. We can also arrange for your company to sponsor one of our programs or events, and also to contribute time mentoring youth.

With our extensive database, we can target the kids that are most in need of assistance based on their geography and challenges. If you have resources or opportunities to contribute, please call us at (213) 747-2777 or email: giving@createnow.org
