Become a Mentor
Your Opportunity to Give Back.

AIGA New York’s Mentoring Program is soon to start its 16th year. The program is made up of volunteer mentors that are paired with high school students based on their shared interests.

Mentors introduce their students to the world of work and help them participate in the many cultural events that the city has to offer. Pairs are required to meet for one hour per week or two hours every other week for a total of four hours a month.

AIGA New York works with the New York City Department of Education’s New York City Mentoring Program and our partner school, the High School of Art and Design, to effectively coordinate and run our Mentoring Program. The AIGA/NY Mentoring Program was founded in 1993 and currently has about 50 pairs.

Become a mentor—it’s a rare chance to make a difference in the life of a talented and ambitious young artist. The AIGA/NY Mentoring Program will be kicking off a new season in November and applications are due by Friday 10 October. The opportunity to become a member is available to AIGA members only.
