Below are some examples of the Creative Assistance work JT Lab has done in collaboration with parks and public lands organizations. Creative Assistance often takes the form of phone calls, informal conversations, and meetings. It can also consist of larger analyses, processes, design advocacy, and research. JT Lab will provide any assistance a park or public lands organization might need, large or small, in engagement with the creative community or in their own creative endeavors.

Use the form on our Contacts page if your organization has a question or is in need of other assistance.
