Overview
The Teaching Artists Guild, a fiscally sponsored project of Community Initiatives, is the only membership organization for teaching artists in the country, providing programs to support the professionalization of the teaching artist field, particularly through professional development. Support will enable Teaching Artists Guild to partner with Create CA to build a framework for a system to certify the expertise of professional teaching artists. Because teaching artists are not formally credentialed and are often itinerant, a digital badge is one way to document expertise and address the state’s Blueprint for Creative Schools recommendations to help restore arts education in public schools.

for the Just Solutions Collective
The Just Solutions Collective, a fiscally sponsored project of Community Initiatives, broadens and deepens the understanding and implementation of equitable and effective climate policies and programs, at a scale and pace that matches the urgency of the climate crisis. The collective partners with communities disproportionately impacted by climate change to turn their priorities and ideas into policies. It draws from community-created solutions and invests deeply in organizations and coalitions that have demonstrated the vision, strategy, and power to secure and implement climate policies that strengthen their communities’ health, economic security, and resiliency.
