TODAY'S creative COMMUNITY EMPOWERING TOMORROW'S CREATIVE CLASS.

Do Greater Charlotte is a non-profit empowering communities to do greater by facilitating exposure and access to creativity, technology, and entrepreneurship. We provide quality tools, a creative space and a nurturing community so underserved and under-resourced communities can turn their ideas into future opportunities.
"We are training the next generation of creative entrepreneurs for good."

It all begins with an idea. But without access to advanced technology, you can't move those great ideas toward impact.

Space Inspires. It boosts our creative confidence. Creative spaces create the conditions for well-being - leading to happier people.

A community helping underserved youth discover what they can do and who they can become through the power of creativity.

Our spaces are hubs for learning. Whether in the Mobile CRTVLab or the physical space, all are equipped with modern digital technology to provide educational opportunities centered around creativity, technology, and entrepreneurship across multiple interests including coding, design, video production, photography, and more.

The Creative Digital Studio is about to get underway. First Class Starts May 21.

18-24 year old opportunity youth

Those interested in the digital creative industry

Aspiring digital creators-ready to create

Building Creative Confidence in Youth

IGNITING CREATIVITY

We are extremely excited about the Creative Lab at Shiloh (CRTVLab at Shiloh), an innovative space located on the bottom level of Shiloh Institutional Baptist Church. Our focus from the beginning was to create spaces that offer quality technology, a creative environment that inspires, and a nurturing community of support for underserved youth. We started with the Mobile CRTVLab and now we have the CRTVLab at Shiloh, an 8,000 sq. ft. innovation and creativity hub for youth.

This new creative space allows Do Greater Charlotte to move ahead with the promise to ignite creativity and empower youth in underserved communities to turn their ideas into opportunities.

The Do Greater Charlotte Creative Lab at Shiloh is an 8,000 sq. ft. innovation and creativity hub for youth. It's where creative confidence is built in students through exposure to design, entrepreneurship, and innovative technology so they can turn their ideas into opportunities. Designed with the student in mind, the CRTVLab is purposed to ignite that creative spark in students with exciting programing, 4 design studios (music production, video production, photography and a podcast studio). The coworking, colearning vibe creates a safe and comfortable place for youth to learn, engage and create. In our TechHub, youth can prototype using tools, 3D printers and cutting machines. During school hours, the CRTVLab is open to the community for coworking, meetings and events.

In the fall of 2019, the Do Greater Charlotte Mobile Creative Lab (CRTVLab) rolled onto the scene. A former Lance cookie truck, the Mobile CRTVLab was the vision of William McNeely, the founder of Do Greater Charlotte. It is a technology classroom on wheels, providing free education services to middle and high schools on the westside of Charlotte, and serving the community at large. If you would like for the Mobile CRTVLab to bring Creative Lab programming to your school or event, email, kelsey@dogreater.org for more information.

COMMUNITY AMBASSADOR

I am from the Bronx, New York. For 9 years I've moved around the Hidden Valley area. I've seen it suffer, and I've seen it grow. Throughout my high school career, I worked for a nonprofit called Heal Charlotte, which opened my eyes to how providing yourself and your knowledge to the community can help make it better. The pandemic and subsequent lockdown made it difficult for us to continue our community development work. That's why I'm so excited to get back into the community as an Ambassador for the Hola Neighbor program and continue being a part of the growth of the neighborhood. With our connections and resources, I believe we can obtain not only a healthy community, but also health awareness. In my spare time I like to write, listen to music, and spend time with my siblings.

As kinfolk rooted in discipleship in West Charlotte, we work to engage with and empower youth, create social entrepreneurship opportunities for young adults, and provide affordable housing options to those facing poverty in our neighborhood.

QC Family Tree seeks to embody an alternative - a way of life that is centered, whole, and founded on love.

Kinship Coffee is a social entrepreneurship project that provides opportunities for youth in our neighborhood.

QC Family Tree has 6 affordable housing units - a large shared house and 5 apartments - that are always full.
