We're forming a Creative Careers Council of partner organizations to meet monthly to:
Shape which careers and pathways we should highlight
Identify gaps in who we're reaching and what we're missing
Connect us to industry professionals and organizations who are interested in helping
Give real-time feedback on what's resonating with youth
Surface barriers (transit, deadlines, access issues) we can address together
Commitment: One 60-minute virtual meeting per month starting in January 2026!
