OUR STORY
OUR VISION
is we aim to nurture each young person’s artistic sensibilities and treat their art as a viable and legitimate contribution to society and their own sense of self.
WHO WE SERVE?
CreativeWorks serves Prince George’s County residents, ages 17+, that have interest and are invested in learning or advancing their skill sets towards a career path in the creative industries.
OUR MISSION
is to foster innovative thinkers and directly funnel young people into creative industries that enliven our arts and entertainment economy. CreativeWorks exists to be that launching pad.
Since 2008, CreativeWorks has transformed the lives of young people, fostering growth and opportunity. Today, we are called to deepen our impact, sharpen our focus, and align our values and practices to better serve those we support, young and old alike. Our approach unites every effort and business practice toward achieving meaningful outcomes, including employability, mastery, belonging, autonomy, financial stability, wellness, and strong support systems. By embracing these principles, we strive to create lasting, positive change for individuals aged 17 and up.
