Venice Arts is always interested in finding qualified volunteers who can assist with our youth programs. Professionals and college students with background qualifications in the following may apply: photography, film/video, animation, comics, and/or visual arts. Many of our mentors use volunteering as a way to gain teaching experience in their field. Others simply want to inspire young people to hone their craft. Volunteers will be trained by Venice Arts staff and given artist mentor assignments, in our Venice programs, and/or at offsite partner locations.
Assist in media arts workshops that are free for low-income youth. We are currently seeking mentors for our academic year after-school classes. Gain teaching experience and inspire young people to hone their craft through collaborating with and supporting a Lead Artist. Fall classes run from September 14th to December 14th. Workshops meet once a week for 2 hours. Ideal artist-mentor has experience in photography, filmmaking, animation or visual art. Experience teaching or working with youth is preferred, but not required.
Volunteer artist mentors are asked to arrive to their assigned workshop at least 30 minutes early and stay after class for 15-30 minutes to work with the Lead Artist, review the lesson plan, and prepare for that day’s class. Volunteers are welcomed and encouraged to prepare and lead lessons, and present their own work, when appropriate.
College Credit also available!

Mission Statement
Venice Arts is an innovative arts center that brings talented artists together with young people to nurture their creativity, imagination, and talent. Our programs focus on those whose access to the arts, as artists or audience, has been limited. Venice Arts' mentor-artists guide young people through experiences with the arts, exposing them to the tools, ideas, and environments that help them express their creativity, build positive interethnic relationships, and improve their academic performance and job readiness. Our programs are available to youth ages 8-18; we accomodate special needs children; our programs are free to low income youth and also available to families who are able to pay.
