For over 25 years Create Now has supported youth in Los Angeles by providing free art and career based programming.

About us

Create Now’s mission is to empower youth and young adults from ages 3 to 24 through a variety of arts programs in multiple disciplines that help them to heal and thrive. Although youth in need originate from all types of backgrounds, the majority of the participants that Create Now serves come from financially disadvantaged families. In addition, since Create Now serves youth in foster group homes, transitional housing facilities, and TAY programs, many have family histories of violence, neglect, abandonment, and substance abuse.

  • This holiday season, Create Now brought joy and smiles to over 500 wonderful youth in our community. Many of these kids would not have had access to holiday toys without the generous support of our partners. Our season of giving kicked off with a festive holiday party and continued throughout December with events hosted in collaboration with El Sereno Stallions, El Sereno Night Market, and Gilbert Lindsay Recreation Center. We extend our deepest thanks to Valley Industry & Commerce Association, REV Athletics, Big Sunday, and Jazwares for providing the toys that lit up so many faces! Special gratitude goes to Music Changing Lives and all our incredible supporters who played a crucial role in securing these gifts. The spirit of giving defines this season, and it’s at the heart of our "A New Era of Change" campaign. As we look forward to expanding our reach and deepening our impact, your support is more crucial than ever. This campaign aims to sustain and grow our programs, empowering more youth through the arts. Consider making a donation this holiday season.
