PH 1:1 Artist-Mentor Roster Submissions
Launched in the spring of 2020, the PH 1:1 Arts Mentorship Program (formerly known as CAPP) is a socially-engaged arts program that pairs professional artist-facilitators with young people on the margins (ages 16-29). Partnerships meet for one-to-one online mentorship in a discipline of the young person’s choice. We are currently searching for professional artists to mentor in our upcoming cohorts. PH prioritizes mentors who identify as belonging to an equity-seeking group, or who align with the lived experiences of the program participants. PH 1:1 Program Structure: > 1-on-1 virtual mentorships between professional artist facilitators and youth living in shelters or connected with community support organizations. > Each pair meets for one hour a week, for 12 weeks, over Zoom (this structure is flexible and may change depending on the mentee’s needs). > Artist-Mentors are tasked with keeping in contact with youth, filling out weekly session logs, and alerting PH and shelter/organization staff to any missed or rescheduled sessions. > Project: Humanity and the shelter/organization staff provide support for the partnership, help source any necessary materials or equipment, and address questions and concerns as they arise. > Artist-Mentors are paid $107 per week, plus $107 for onboarding/training prior to the start of your mentorship.
