The Casting Assistant Pathway Program doesn’t end at graduation — it’s just the beginning. 🌱

Recently, CAPP alumni gathered in Los Angeles for a meetup. It was a joy to see this community continuing to connect, support one another, and grow their careers in casting long after completing the program.

CAPP was created to foster emerging talent and build equity in the field of casting — and moments like this are proof that the relationships formed here last well beyond the 12 modules. We are so proud of every one of our alumni.

By participating in this event, our members helped shine a light on the injustices faced by kids experiencing homelessness, inspiring communities to step up, advocate for, and protect young people whom the system has failed.

Everybody knows someone impacted by addiction—it may be a family member, friend, or coworker. Addiction affects 49 million Americans, and drug overdose is the leading cause of accidental death in the U.S. It’s time to break the silence, break the stigma, and show support for those touched by this treatable condition.

For far too long, substance use disorder has shrouded by judgment and shame. But with your support, we can change that. Stigma keeps people from seeking the care they need—together, we can shine a light on this crisis and create a community that offers hope and healing 💙

This year, our team is participating in the 🚶‍♂️ Shatterproof Walk to raise essential funds that will transform how addiction is treated in America. We are breaking down barriers so that more people have access to quality care and recovery.

💪 Let’s stand together. Join our team or donate today to help us make a difference in this critical health crisis. Together, we can save lives. Together, we are Shatterproof!

👟 Save the date for this year’s walk on November 16th.

Every Day Action not only creates a route for food goods to be consumed by those in need, it creates opportunities for members of the entertainment industry to give back to their communities.

🌟 Spotlight of the Week: Young Storytellers 🌟

Young Storytellers equips young people to be the driving force of their own narratives. ✨ They’re passionate about bringing people together and creating stories to raise the voices of those who don’t often get heard. 📚❤️

They believe that when a young person understands the power of their own story—made of their unique background, culture, race, ethnicity, ability, immigration status, geographic location, and economic status, among others—it creates a more empathetic and equitable future for everyone. 🌍💪

They raise voices, one story at a time. 🎤✍️
