ATLANTA — Two Atlanta-based internship pipeline programs are joining together for a fundraiser to help raise funds to build a new facility for students.
New Orleans native Cortez Bryant, who is a prominent music mogul, executive and philanthropist, helped to create Go Dark years ago. Go Dark is an Atlanta-based music internship pipeline program that focuses on providing students with the knowledge, support, skillset and resources they need to thrive in the music and entertainment business.
Joffre Lester, a prominent Atlanta community advocate, Board of Director and Marketing Consultant at the Creative Academy, says one of his main goals is to help provide a safe place for at-risk youth in the city of Atlanta and introduce them to different opportunities in creative arts industries.
Both Bryant and Lester are excited about the students and everyone involved in their respective programs. They hope to teach more people about not only the music and entertainment businesses, but to provide better resources and opportunities for students.
