StreamElements has renewed its Creator Diversity Program (CDP) for its third year, offering financial support and mentoring to underrepresented Twitch streamers through 2023. The third annual Creator Diversity Program is designed to provide tools, guidance, and funding to streamers from marginalized groups.
The program is open to content creators from underrepresented groups on Twitch to join a 12-month career accelerator program featuring streamer education, support, promotion, gear, opportunities, and $3,000 USD. The program is designed to provide content creators from underrepresented groups, including Black, People of Color (PoC), LGBTQIA2S+, Women, and Individuals with disabilities, with education, gear, support, promotion, and some funds to help the recipients.
The program will support 15 Twitch streamers from underrepresented groups. The program is designed to increase diversity and inclusivity in the streaming community by providing support, resources, and exposure to underrepresented creators. The program is in partnership with StreamerSquare, a platform dedicated to helping streamers succeed.
