More about Youth Employment at FYA…
Follow Your Art has provided training, internships, and employment for high school youth for several years. Beginning in 2021, we began to work more intentionally to provide meaningful training and “mentorship trees” for high school interns, to learn skills beyond washing paint brushes.
Our current program provides high school youth the opportunity to to be trained during internships that provide a stipend, and mentor under staff and more seasoned studio assistants to learn how to plan and present a creative activity for children, engage positively with kids of all abilities, and effectively and professionally communicate with caregivers .
Create Your Opportunity is made possible by YouthReach, a grant awarded by Mass Cultural Council for Creative Youth Development programs.
