When they look to you for guidance, they’re looking up.

Professional mentors are invaluable to CreateAthon@USC. Volunteers come from the local professional community and include alumni from far and wide. The young creatives need guidance in channeling their creativity and ideas to deliver great work under intense pressure and strict deadlines. Mentors are assigned to creative teams. The students and mentors work together to build top-notch creative marketing campaigns that the nonprofits deserve but could otherwise not afford.

CreateAthon@USC would not be such a success without the support that mentors provide to the students. The experience is exhausting, but incredibly fun and rewarding.
