The mission for Creative + Development is to introduce and equip underserved and underrepresented communities for careers and opportunities in our focus areas: creative content and the development of its distribution mediums and platforms. Creative + Development is dedicated to building an eco-system of creatives, tech enthusiasts and entrepreneurs, in disenfranchised communities. With the help of our partners, we wish to lead these communities into becoming competitive cities for tech and creative talent. Our approach starts at the beginning of the talent pipeline, by providing after school programming for youth (12-18), and at the end, by offering tech and creative training for adults.
