Participate in WVU's first CreateAthon

What it is CreateAthon?

CreateAthon is a 24-hour work-around-the-clock marathon that harnesses your creative skills for local social good. Students
and mentors work together to develop marketing materials for local nonprofits that would otherwise not be able to afford to have these materials produced! As a student participant, you will be the minds and hands that will spend 24-plus hours creating and producing the actual
communication material for our community nonprofits. We need writers, art directors, designers, photographers, videographers, audio video producers and editors, web strategists and app developers. For more information: http://www.createathonwvu.org/

How you benefit:
Not only is the creative blitz an incredible resume and portfolio builder, it also allows students to gain real world
experience by working directly with area professionals.

Please understand that by applying to be a CreateAthon@WVU team volunteer, you are committing yourself to be in Martin Hall for 24 hours on April 17 18 working with a team to create materials for area nonprofits. Also, please understand that applying does not guarantee automatic acceptance. (While we want as many brilliant minds as possible, we must also match individual talents with client needs.)
