Thanks to the generous support of a AERIE REAL FOUNDATION™ COMMUNITY GRANT, we are able to provide “The Creating Legacies through Art for Women” a service-learning program for high school girls, grades 9-12, who want to learn more about working in the arts.
We are inviting high school girls, grades 9-12 to intern with us as volunteers where they will work alongside certified teachers and gain valuable skills from our thoughtful and meaningful training program. Participants must commit to meeting at one of our Learning Partners sites (a local recreation center) for 2 hours a week for a 10-week program.
Since the majority of our programs are after-school and summer art programs, we will use our Art Workshops as the basis for the curriculum, providing a real life work experience and a place to learn skills, gain confidence, and practice techniques that can be applied to other professions.
Interns will be assigned a mentor to help them gain valuable skills that will eventually lead the way to future employment, such as learning to work as a team, employ critical thinking, exhibit adaptability to unforeseen circumstances, demonstrate dependability and empathy in the classroom and show respect for our organization and our students.
