Mentor Children and Be a Member of Our Award-Winning Theatre Program
Builders of the New World, now in its 28th year, brings together professionals across all industries to provide a safe creative haven of stability for NYC children residing in temporary housing facilities.
Bring your heart and commitment to mentor children in our award-winning theatre and education after-school program that has served over 2,500 homeless children and their families, and partnered with over 20 housing facilities, since 1995.
Our program helps at-risk students express their voice, see beyond their current circumstances, and envision a positive future. And they need you to reach their full potential!
We are looking for mentors to join mid-program to support and mentor 7-14 year old children in a safe, creative environment. Mentors will also help rehearse the children to prepare for their final performance. Our program will enable you to serve the community while growing and gaining new skills and insights-enhance team building, improve inter-group communication skills, address diversity issues with compassion and expansive thinking, and develop creative expression through a deeply rewarding shared experience.
