LATINO ARTS FOUNDATION ART MENTORSHIP PROGRAM
Mission - To create an inclusive mentorship environment, focusing on the artistic growth and development of aspiring artists in all art genres.
Why do we need a mentorship program? The Latino Arts Foundation Art mentorship program is an unconventional mentoring program focusing on the talent of the students while embracing and supporting their creative imaginations. Mentors and mentees will explore all genres of art including but not limited to visual, creative writing and theater. The students inspire the mentors as much as the mentors inspire the students.

The mentorship program will offer:
• Artistic Development
• Leadership Development
• Confidence / increased self- esteem / motivation
• Skill development
OVERALL mentorship program guidelines:
• Information - Mentors share their knowledge, experiences, and wisdom. Mentees share their need, want and expectation from the mentorship.
• Support - Mentors encourage growth and achievement by providing an open and supportive environment. Mentees feel safe to accept supportive and open environment.

• Advice - Mentors guide mentees in reaching artistic and personal goals. Mentees listen to advice and be open to dialogue.
• Role Models - By sharing stories of achievement with mentees, mentors can become role models.
• Contacts - Mentors provide valuable opportunities by facilitating networking opportunities, if feasible in the mentorship situation.
