Are You a Creative?
Creatives for Change is an online platform that connects aspiring and established creatives with non profits for heart centered volunteer work opportunities domestically and abroad.
At Creatives for Change, you will learn what it takes to work with nonprofits you're passionate about serving.
Our online education programs will teach you everything you need to know to get started. Once certified our graduates gain access to mission-driven NGO's locally and around the globe to work on a variety of fulfilling and meaningful creative projects.
-
Passionate Creatives (photographers, videographers, drone pilots, web designers, graphic designers, marketers, etc.) and NGO's go through a short but thorough training course.
-
Upon completion of the appropriate course, creatives and NGO's are then eligible to enter our volunteer marketplace where they can connect and work on a job brief for the NGO.
-
Once the project is completed, NGO's and creatives can continue to work together or elect to work with others on future projects.
-
Creatives come away with practical experience working with organizations they are passionate about and NGO's get high-quality content and strategy from passionate creatives to continue on their mission serving disadvantaged populations.
-
How much is the program?
The cost for creatives to join is currently $99 per year. The cost for organizations to join is currently $999 per year.
-
As an aspiring non profit photographer, do I have to own a fancy camera to work with the organizations?
Not at all! As the saying goes, "the best camera is the one you have with you." That said, dSLR's or equivalent are preferred and may even be required by the NGO for certain projects.
-
As an organization, how many creatives can I work with at one time?
Organizations are permitted 1 open project at a time. This means you get to work with 1 creative at a time. If you'd like to open up more projects simultaneously, please contact us.
-
As a creative, how many organizations can I work with at one time.
Creatives may work with 1 organization/1 project at a time. Quality is important and we want to ensure that our creatives don't take on too much.
-
As a creative do I get paid for my time/work?
No. This is a volunteer-based program that pairs creatives who are passionate about serving causes they feel strongly about working with. That said, if your work is superb and the organization loves you, it could very well lead to paid work outside of our platform!
-
Who owns copyright to the creative work that is produced?
The creator does. The organizations are permitted to use them for their marketing purposes only and are required to give the creator credit whenever possible.
-
Do you offer any other classes?
We currently only have a few photography classes available and the main course for organizations. However, we're working on creating classes for each category (Photographers, Videographers, Organizations, etc.). We'll be adding new courses regularly so you'll have access to the tools needed.

Thanks so much! It was great to have our photographer come out and capture images from the first tours of our new home that will be opening up next year. We're excited to be able to use these photos in our marketing to get people excited about the project!

I was hired in 2019 to teach this course in Los Angeles, CA. 13 students registered and 11 finished the course. It was inspiring and I knew I had to bring this program global. We're currently in beta in Los Angeles, CA. but if you have a need in your area, let us know and we'll find a solution!

It has been an absolute pleasure having your students come and capture memorable moments for our marketing efforts. We look forward to hosting your future students!
