Bloomberg Arts Internship College Mentor

In 2012, Bloomberg Philanthropies created the Bloomberg Arts Internship program in New York City as a pipeline for public school students to college and careers. It is a rigorous program with three major elements: a six-week paid placement and project working day-to-day in an arts organization; visits to arts and cultural organizations; and professional development.

This program’s success led the foundation to expand its reach, first to students in Philadelphia, and now in Baltimore City. For its second year, Young Audiences is thrilled to be able to offer this opportunity to Baltimore City School students as well as Baltimore’s arts and cultural institutions.

College Mentors play a key role in supporting interns throughout the program. The College Mentors are
present on both Professional Development days (Thursdays and Fridays) and work closely with the
interns to support them with their college search and exploring the Common Application. In addition,
College Mentors provide the one-to-one support in making sure their interns are completing work,
responding to feedback, and building their portfolios. When not facilitating workshops, they are working
closely with students in a variety of capacities.
