Create Action & Heart And Soul Design Center: A Platform To Opportunity

Earlier this year we announced Heart And Soul Design Center (HAS Center) as the winner of a Sony Create Action grant. The LA-based nonprofit’s objective is to provide underserved communities with affordable quality production services, create employment opportunities and introduce them to the world of innovative digital technology. As grant recipients, HAS Center receives $50,000 in cash to continue and expand the organization's work, this Sony-produced short film telling their story and $50,000 in Sony Electronics products to support their action plan.

Learn more about Create Action grant winner Heart And Soul Design Center, an LA-based nonprofit that uses multimedia and other programming to create a platform to promote education, training, exposure, social advancements and opportunities.

HAS Center brings state of the art technology to students and the community while also creating a new generation of coaches and teachers, who learn the value of interacting with the youth, teaching them new skills with hands-on experience, and opening doors to new possibilities. The Center’s coaches assist students in creating video/film, digital photography and graphics that not only make a difference, but provide a unique and productive medium in which they can express themselves.

The Center uses multimedia and other programming to create a platform to promote education, training, exposure, social advancements and opportunities. All of the Center’s services are crafted with the intention of providing job skills, life-long learning skills, and an overall support network to increase self-confidence.

The Create Action Grant Program is open through March 29, 2022, and will provide grants to 10 organizations total, with one new grant awarded each month.
