Create and Build With Us

Through Studio T’s Side Hustle Academy we will continue to expand our work with youth to help them determine the creative career path that best fits their interests, creative skills, and personality types (as determined through testing).

Our program model is to connect with difficult-to-serve youth, then address their broader needs through workshops which feature expert community partners. For example, we conduct programs for youth and their parents with ​Pantry Overflow ​and​ Sacramento Helping Hands,​ who teach families how to maximize their budgets and buy food with less. We intend to leverage our ability to create high quality video content by partnering with other arts and community organizations, filming what they teach and producing online material for the site. These videos would become available on the platform, but also become a tool those organizations would maintain ownership of and have the ability to use to better serve their target populations as well. Examples of partner content we produce are:

• Family management 

• Budgeting and savings 

• Culturally relevant financial literacy 

• How to manage your personal brand 

• Marketing yourself in the creative workforce 

In addition, we will partner with our professional dancers, videographers, photographers, social media content creators, and entrepreneurs who we’ve launched and others we have already built relationships with (examples below) to train the next cohort of youth and to create content for the digital learning platform.

Whether you represent an arts and community organization and need a tool to address the needs of your difficult-to-serve youth, or you are interested in sponsoring this program, get in touch!
