We’re creating the sound of our city and the sound of the future, through providing the studio space for local, Philadelphia students to develop a sound heart, mind, and process to move through pain, on-purpose. 

This 12-week music and mentorship program launches
on March 7, 2023. 

10 students will experience one-on-one mentorship in music development and life skills, all within our home at The Story Factory, and will also be a part of an encouraging community, while receiving nourishing snacks and meals and an experience that will fuel their next steps in fulfilling their creative potential. 

 The future sound of Philadelphia


Created and dreamed up by our pastors, Elijah & Ashlee Hollis, and our Takeover Youth Leader, Doc Hero, iCreate is merging our hearts for youth and the creative community through making a tangible difference in the lives of local students. 

We are actively looking for companies, businesses, brands, and individuals who believe in this mission and support the sound of youth coming alive to their purpose. 

From monetary donations, to connections and opportunities for the youth of our neighborhood, we believe that there is a space for everyone to partner together for the development of the next generation.

We are what we create, and we’re creating the
future sound of Philadelphia. 

Applications for the program are being received and
reviewed now. If you know a student who would like to apply:
