The Music/Studio Clubhouse Mentor Program

Mentors Are:

• Someone to talk with and who will listen and help clarify musical as well as life goals.
• Support young people through on-going one-to-one relationships.
• Serve as positive role models.
• Build self-esteem and motivation.

Mentor Qualifications:

• Be 21 years old or older.
• Have proficiency in one or more musical instruments (including Music recording).
• Have experience and/or strong desire to work with teens/young people in a supportive environment.
• Be willing to commit to the relationship and the time required.
• Successfully meet all screening criteria – e.g. background checks.
• Be willing to attend mentor orientation and training as offered.

Time Commitment:

Varies, but usually a couple of hours twice a month.

Benefits:

• Opportunity to inspire a young person and make a difference in their life
