    Beyond Creative Summer 2026

    Beyond Creative is a paid youth employment and workforce development program designed to help youth use the arts to explore their lived experiences, tell their own stories, and build resilience. Through hands-on training and mentorship, participants develop technical, creative, and professional skills while fostering confidence, personal growth, and self-determination. The program offers training in videography, photography, music production, music recording, and other creative services, providing youth with practical skills that prepare them for future education and careers in the creative economy. We are looking for high school students (ages 14–18) and youth leaders (ages 19–24) from Boston who are responsible, interested in media arts, music, and storytelling, and eager to develop their skills and creativity.
