Inspiring the Next Generation of Creatives to Take Flight

New Flight is a nonprofit that creates real industry pathways for young, underrepresented creatives by connecting them with mentorship, professional training, and career-building opportunities in advertising, marketing, and film.

We believe that talent is everywhere, but opportunity is not. The next generation is already shaping trends, creating content, and defining the digital landscape—they need the networks, mentorship, and industry validation to turn their skills into sustainable careers.

Objective

New Flight exists to ensure that every talented student—regardless of background—has access to transformative opportunities in the creative industries.

We provide students with:

  • Mentorship & Career Exposure – Real-world learning from industry leaders.

  • Resume & Portfolio Development – Helping students build career-ready projects.

  • Scholarships & Industry Recognition – Supporting their journey into the creative economy.

At the same time, corporate sponsors and industry partners gain direct access to future creative talent, real-time insights on digital trends, and meaningful ways to engage with Gen Z consumers and creators.

Benefits

At New Flight, we believe that talent is everywhere, but opportunity is not.

Today’s students aren’t waiting to be creative—they already are. Growing up with Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok, they engage audiences, shape trends, and produce content daily—often better than industry professionals. Only 40% of students have access to arts programs that teach industry language and provide career connections, despite 1 in 7 jobs in LA County being tied to the creative economy. New Flight is changing that.
