Streetlights is a California-based non-profit located in West Hollywood that has operated for about three decades in professional training and coaching for the entertainment industry. It targets Southern California's hardest-hit neighborhoods to address inequities behind the camera in TV commercials, feature films, and television shows, offering free Production Assistant training and entry-level placements with pathways to union crews or long-term staff roles. The organization emphasizes diversity in behind-the-camera positions through its Commercial Diversity Initiative, which partners with major advertisers and agencies to provide union apprenticeships for graduates. Since its founding, its graduates have worked on more than 465 feature films, 525 television projects, and over 10,000 commercials and music videos. Graduates have been employed by prominent studios and networks, including 20th Century Fox, NBC Universal, Paramount, Imagine Entertainment, HBO, Walt Disney Pictures, Warner Bros., TNT, and Sony Entertainment.
