    • The Youth-Led Creative Force for Good

    • Use your passions to support coronavirus relief and racial equality, combat poverty and climate change, promote education and animal welfare, and more!

      Visual and Performing Artists

      If you're a teenage performing or visual artist or writer, your gift of creative expression can help open eyes, minds and hearts - you can move people.

       

      Design posters for marches, animations for awareness campaigns, merch for fundraisers; record songs for anthems; choreograph dances for social media campaigns and so on.

       

       

       

      Inventors, Programmers and Innovators

      Your creative problem solving can change the world. Submit your invention, app, website or other medical, technical or scientific solution to a specific issue.

      Entrepreneurs, Leaders and Changemakers

      Submit ideas for or already completed programs or campaigns to educate and/or rally others to action.

    • Starting with These Causes:

      Coronavirus Relief + COVID Vaccination

      There are so many issues related to the coronavirus that could use your artistry and brilliant ideas. Support youth, seniors, frontline workers and families with food, laptops/art supplies/instruments for remote education, social isolation/mental health services and diapers

       

      Develop a new vaccine (yes you can!), help increase awareness of the importance and safety of vaccination, present ideas for distribution, etc.

      Racial Equality

      When twelve-year-old Keedron Bryant sang, “I Just Wanna Live” he gave voice to the fear many face every day due to racial injustice.

       

      Support people of color by raising awareness of and funding to address the educational opportunity gap, school to prison pipeline, criminal justice reform, housing, civics education, livable wages, systemic racism and so on.
