Create Now empowers youth through arts education and mentoring. We serve vulnerable kids ages 3-24 with our therapeutic programs in music, writing, visual arts, fashion, digital media, performance - ALL the arts. Each year, we also bring thousands of young people to concerts, plays, circuses, museums and artist performances at premier venues. Our community events include Power of the Arts Festivals, talent shows and mural projects. Kids from under-resourced neighborhoods who have been challenged by abuse, neglect, homelessness and incarceration learn to express themselves in a positive manner, and also receive free resources to help them thrive. We have reached almost 50,000 youth in Southern California since 1996.
