A significant aspect of supporting young creatives to achieve their goals and visions is understanding the role other actors (e.g. organizations, educators, caregivers, and systems) play in this mission as well. This report explores the relationships between three main groups of actors that come together to create a place, or “Community Hub” where this type of work happens, and addresses the question What are the attributes of a Community Hub for artistic, cultural, and creative learning? Through a combination of Creative Generation’s foundational research, which explored the conditions that most effectively cultivate creativity in youth, and our engagement with a number of organizations between 2022-2023 to better understand the role organizations play as catalysts to achieve the same mission, we uncovered numerous trends that led to the design of a relationship-oriented process that enables an organization to take on the role of “Community Hub,” known now as the “Community Hub Framework.” This framework outlines the interplay between three key groups: Individual, Organizational, and External actors, and not only outlines the outcomes when all three of these processes are in alignment, but the intersectional outcomes that arise between pairs as well.
