Meet September’s Featured Creators on the Rise
From sustainable fashion tips to pop culture critiques, these up-and-coming creators are sharing their personal passions with global audiences.

In January 2017, we announced the launch of Creator on the Rise, a program that identifies and celebrates up-and-coming YouTube channels. Since then, we’ve featured more than 5,000 Creators on the Rise and expanded from the US to over 20 countries and regions around the world, including Au, India, and South Korea. 

In August we kicked off a new playlist highlighting a select group of featured Creators on the Rise. This month, we’re bringing you 15 more emerging creators to keep on your radar. You’ll find a cross-section of channels that span genres and areas of expertise, letting you discover new channels to add to your subscriptions and perhaps even a newfound interest in skateboarding or 3D printing
