Student Volunteers
Team Volunteers are undergraduate students who provide the minds and hands that spend 24 hours creating and producing communication material for our local non-profits. Volunteers are writers, art directors, designers, photographers, videographers, audio/video producers and more.

Mentors
CreateAthon@VCU’s success comes not only from the creative minds of its student volunteers, but also from the mentors that help guide them. Advertising and marketing professionals are at the event to mentor the teams. This gives students insight and experience from someone already in the industry.
