A 12-week creative lab for youth to build brands, create content, and turn ideas into something real.
About this Event

This is a 12-week, hands-on program designed for teens and youth who are curious about creativity, content, and how brands actually work in the real world.

GLO Collective is not a lecture-style class.

It’s a small-group creative lab where participants learn by building, creating, and presenting their own ideas in a guided and supportive environment.

Over 12 weeks, participants will:

  • Learn how branding and marketing work (in a real, practical way)
  • Create their own “brand” or creative concept
  • Develop content (short-form, visual, storytelling)
  • Understand how social platforms actually grow
  • Build confidence in presenting ideas and thinking creatively

Program Structure:

  • Duration: 12 weeks
  • Sessions: 1x per week (60–90 minutes)
  • Format: Guided learning + hands-on activities
  • Group Size: Small and intentionally limited (max 20 seats/group)
