Nov 11, 2022 – [[read-time]] minute read
Community has always been at the heart of YouTube and this year, we’ve seen many Shorts creators join hands to build community by sharing ideas, fostering collaborative relationships and supporting each other. And making that strong community for these creators goes beyond collaborations on-platform.
That’s why last month we surprised 10 YouTube Shorts creators from across the United States with YouTube Shorts parties so they and fellow creators in their cities could come together locally to inspire a sense of community and togetherness across Chicago, Boston, New York City, Charlotte, Atlanta, Miami, Houston, Dallas, Phoenix and San Francisco.
From comedy to baking to music, these Shorts creators are sharing their personal passions with audiences around the world, and we're spotlighting the 10 creators who are shaping the YouTube Shorts community in their cities.
