These are opportunities where we’re working to advance more inclusion and representation for Latinx professionals, so we greatly appreciate allyship in making that happen.

Great to hear you’re committed to making inroads for Latinx professionals in animation! You can submit a job listing through our Job Board. If you would like to request access to the LXiA talent directory, please email info@latinxinanimation.org.

I have this AWESOME idea for a show! Will LXiA help me launch it?

Unfortunately, we’re an advocacy group and don’t develop original content for creatives. You’re welcome to reach out to our general membership and we can put the word out there that you’re looking for collaborators.

I’m looking to give back a little, is LXiA looking for volunteers?

Yes! We’re always looking for a few good volunteers. Please sign up with us here. You’ll receive alerts about a number of volunteer opportunities (both virtual and in-person) and other ways to stay involved. We appreciate it!
