ARTS EMERGENCY

 This is an excellent opportunity, click image below to go to the website and apply. 

Who can apply?

If you live in London, Brighton, Merseyside, or Greater Manchester, and will be aged between 16 and 18 in January 2023, you can apply for a mentor.

We try to work with young people who most need the support of an Arts Emergency mentor, and therefore every mentee must meet at least one of the criteria below:

• None of your parents or carers have ever studied at university in the UK or abroad
• The postcode of the home address at which you spent the most time between the ages of 0 and 18 indicates you have lived in an area of deprivation*
• You are currently, or have at any point in the last 6 years, been eligible for free school meals
• You are currently in receipt of a 16-19 bursary
• You would describe yourself as Black, Asian or from an ethnic minority background
• You consider yourself to be disabled
• You consider yourself to have a learning disability or special education need

*For example if you lived at five addresses before you turned 18, we'll use the one you spent the most time at to check your eligibility against this criteria

If you are not sure about your eligibility for the mentoring programme and would like to talk to a member of the team please get in touch.

If you will be aged between 16 and 18 in January 2023, live in or near London, Brighton, Greater Manchester or Merseyside, and you're interested in studying an arts or humanities degree or want a career in the creative or cultural industries, an Arts Emergency mentor could support you.

After completing a year of mentoring you'll get access to professional networking and development opportunities until your 26th birthday.

Applications to get a mentor are open now!
