With support from the California Arts Council, CREATE NOW, INC. will implement three performing arts workshops at Logan Middle School for 60 youth. During 24 sessions, students participate in Singing, Dance and Comedy classes where they learn at least two songs, dance routines, and improv comedy (plus short scenes). CREATE A SHOW culminates with Talent Shows at the schools for audiences with peers, teachers, parents and siblings. Youth receive gift bags, videos and other lasting souvenirs.
Our unique partnership model helps Create Now provide access to the arts for youth who are most likely to miss out on impactful extracurricular opportunities and creative education. All of our programs are offered at no cost to youth and their families. Our partnerships with schools and community agencies have been built for nearly 30 years. This unique connection helps us reach youth who are underserved, experiencing homelessness, in foster care, or who have experienced the juvenile justice system.
Like many other arts education organizations, Create Now relies on local schools and community agencies in underserved communities as crucial partners. A variety of our programming occurs on campus at various schools.
