In alignment with our organizational values and commitments, we serve as both a learning and capacity building organization which strengthens and enables individuals, organizations, and the global fields of practice within which we work. 

JOINING THE COLLECTIVE

A core component of Creative Generation’s work is the Collective itself. By design, our Collective is composed of associates who are part-time, multi-hyphenate practitioners that contribute to the shared work of Creative Generation as part of a portfolio career. We are united by our shared, organizational values and commitments and our use of ‘distributed collective leadership,’ understanding that the impact of our relationships, knowledge, and work together far exceeds what any of us can do alone.

With a diversity of contributions, together, we co-create strategic projects, achieve more complex objectives, and elevate our shared knowledge to have a greater impact in the world. We recognize that by working together we can:

  • Amplify our roles as members within organizations and systems;

  • Strengthen connections between our networks;

  • Share responsibility through democratized decision-making and leadership;

  • Be trusted to do the right thing and invest our resources strategically; and

  • Achieve greater success by combining our unique skillsets.

This model provides many benefits, including efficiency and innovations towards our shared mission, purpose, vision, and goals as an organization and – equally - the mutual growth and development of our colleagues. Read more about the logic in constructing the Collective in this blog.

Associates can be individual practitioners – like artists, educators, administrators, researchers, storytellers, activists, etc. – or aligned organizations, that share our values and commitments and belief that youth create change. Associates may fulfill different levels of responsibility, including acting as a Lead, Affiliate, or Contributor.

  • Lead - Guide an organizational strategy across a portfolio of projects; expected 25-90% FTE.

  • Affiliate - Manage projects within a portfolio; expected 10-90% FTE.

  • Contributor - Contribute to assigned projects; expected <25% FTE.
