Description
Calling all teens who love art, enjoy working with kids, and want to learn valuable leadership skills!
The Teen Leadership Program allows interested 13-17 year olds to transition into staff support and vital liaisons representing the young artist experience. We combine leadership skills, emotional intelligence and awareness training and exclusive arts programming to give our teens stipends when they work with us as summer camp staff support.
This is a unique opportunity for young adults to learn new art skills, meet other ambitious teens, and gain life experiences working with young artists. Additionally, they will have the opportunity to plan and host teen event nights and/or curate amazing experiences for our young artists!
Our Teen Leadership Program trains new and returning teens to serve and advocate for our young artists. Only teens that complete our training program will qualify for the summer work program. Teens are hired and paid a stipend for summer and holiday camps.
Teens must complete an application by September 14. Program teens will be announced by October 1. Contact sabrina@upturnarts.org if your teen is interested in joining our next cohort.
*Teens must turn 14 years old by May 1, 2026.
Upturn Arts is a fun and creative program that teaches children in the New Orleans community to explore and build confidence in themselves through artistic expression. Our vision is to provide “Arts for All." Upturn Arts believes collaboration breeds artistic creativity and confidence in our young artists. Our programs give every child the freedom to express themselves in a safe, encouraging, and positive environment regardless of artistic talent or ability.
