I met the team at Create Now back in 2017 while I was working in L.A. and their mission is as important now as it was then. They have the courage to make things better, to stand against what many would call fate and give kids a better future through the arts. When I collaborated with them, one sentence kept playing in my mind: this is worth doing. And in a world where you can't take anything for granted, knowing that Create Now is there to give kids a better chance, to show them new ways to express themselves... I think it makes a difference.
I joined the Create Now team to help them pull together a wonderful community event, their annual Power of the Arts Summer Festival. I was shocked to learn they operate with such a small team of 3, yet still impact tens of thousands of at-risk youth. The work they do with such dedication makes a big difference. They deserve all the support they can get, and I wish them the very best moving forward.
Create Now offers a valuable service to the youth of Southern California. Through events and programs, I have been priveledged to experience the powerful hearts of these youth through music, art, and poetry. Thank you Jill and the Create Now Organization for your hard work and tremendous services. Michael
