Mission Statement
The Artist Mentorship Program supports youth navigating the trauma of homelessness by creating community, relationships, and music and arts mentorships so that self esteem is enhanced, confidence is fortified, and pathways out of homelessness are built.
Description
The Artist Mentorship Program (AMP) is a Portland-based nonprofit dedicated to empowering youth experiencing homelessness through music, education, and mentorship.
For over 30 years, AMP has been a lifeline for marginalized and isolated young people, offering a safe, inclusive space where they can build confidence, foster community, and heal from trauma. Alongside music and arts education, AMP provides essential support services, including nutritious meals, health and safety supplies, resource navigation, and workforce training, ensuring that every participant has the tools they need to move through and out of homelessness.
Our programming includes a variety of artistic and educational opportunities as well as essential services - such as food programs and access to resources - that address the immediate needs of our youth.
