Review for Create Now, Inc., Los Angeles, CA, USA
Create now provides an avenue for volunteers who have the time and the heart to help others who could greatly benefit. My experience in dealing with at-risk youth and teaching them how to create things was so rewarding, because it gave them confidence that they could create awesome things themselves, and it also gave these kids something to look forward to every week. In the short summer that I volunteered with the organization, I developed great relationships with many awesome people.

I think one thing that would be a great addition would be an online board where new volunteer opportunities are posted, so that the volunteers would not have to look far for a similar opportunity once one ends. It is a great organization.

Thanks Samantha! Your help with our Introduction to Art Workshop was so appreciated by everyone at L.A. Family Housing. All of those children who were previously homeless will now have terrific crafts projects that you helped them to make, which will build their self-esteem. We look forward to having you mentor again soon. Jill
