Made for LA Creatives. Powered by Community.

Curated by the Snap Foundation and our community, The Creator's Compass is a newsletter that shares real stories, opportunities, and happenings across Los Angeles' creative scene. Made for curious minds ages 14-24, and the educators, mentors and allies who support them.

Help us build our community

Educators, mentors and partners - please help us spread the word. Share The Creator's Compass with your students, families, and networks. We've created a ready-to-use promo kit with social media posts, templates and graphics to make it easy.

Promo kit will be available soon.

WANT TO GO DEEPER?

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! 

Interested in the Council? Send us an email and let us know. We’re also happy to answer any questions and would love to hear your ideas!
