Hi, I bet you are wondering why you are here! You are on this site to possibly contribute some of your time to kids in our program. Here's what we are hoping you will do:

We would like to ask you to give 1-5 hours, for one week, to teach kids about what you do in a day of work. We want you to show kids what life in your shoes looks like. You could show them how to adapt a novel, cast silver, make a gif, build a website, write letters to editors, illustrate a concept, paint on a wall, etc. Whatever you do, it is likely kids don't REALLY know what it looks like behind all the glamour. We would love you to show them.

If you are willing to be a part of this exciting opportunity, keep scrolling to book a week (or a few days in a row) and I will reach out to you to talk through some concepts.

INSTRUCTIONS

Thanks for being willing to help and be present with our kids. Please use this as a place to gather ideas and start planning your visit with us.

WHAT PROBLEM CAN OUR STUDENTS HELP YOU SOLVE?

Think of a problem/goal/project that our students can work on during your week together

● What is something that you need, that our students can accomplish in a week? You could ask them to make a new shirt design, flag, business card, sticker, typeface, menu, flyers, social media post, illustration, book cover, animation, etc.

WHERE WOULD YOU LIKE TO WORK?

Your Place* or Ours?

● Do you want students to work at our new, state of the art facility? We have two rooms designed for studio work, photography, and graphic media. We have space for 30-36 kids per room. We also have a large outdoor patio where students can work freely on canvases, iPads, paper, etc.

* If you hope to have students work in your space/ a place of your choosing please plan ahead with us so that we can coordinate a chaperone and transportation.

CHOOSE A WEEK THAT YOU ARE AVAILABLE ⤵

Please sign up for 1-5 consecutive days in the same week

● Each day consists of approximately one hour of mentoring

(when viewing the calendar on a mobile device please scroll for more options)

WHICH APP/S WILL THEY NEED?

Most of our students are proficient at Procreate, Photoshop, Illustrator, and Lightroom

● Is there an App we need to purchase to make this work? If you have needs/suggestions we are required to get approval from the school, so please give us ample warning.

WHAT MATERIALS WILL WE NEED TO PROVIDE?

We have materials for painting, drawing, printmaking, silk screening, laser cutting, vinyl cutting, printing, and more.

● However, you may need something more specific. What materials would you like us have prepared for the students to work with? What machines will help with the process? Please communicate your needs with us in a timely manner so that we can have them prepared for your arrival.

Fun things to know

● Don’t worry we will help you with the process. There will also be a certificated teacher on site with you and the students everyday.

● There will also be some kids that finish early, some that are extraordinarily sarcastic, and a lot that have a dedicated pavlovian response to bells.

● One thing all of them will agree on is that this is the best thing they have ever learned in High School thanks to you!

● We have provided a skeleton lesson planner below to help guide your time.
