“We believe that someone’s current circumstance shouldn’t dictate their future.” Our goal is to unearth the next generation of creative industry leaders from underserved and disadvantaged communities. Through opportunity, support and a network we want to help break cycles of systemic inequality - because talent is distributed equally, but opportunity isn’t. Creative Futures is a 12 week program where we work with fellows to get career opportunities in the creative industries. Industries that have traditionally been impossible to break into if you weren’t born into the right neighborhoods, have the right family connections or went to the right schools. Throughout the program, we host workshops to educate and inspire our fellows in a range of topics from financial literacy, mindfulness, storytelling, unlocking creativity and leadership development to name a few. Each of our fellows is then assigned a group of mentors, a guaranteed paid “Futureship” and a short film on their story. We call it the “Alumni group for people that don’t have an alumni group”.
