Please read the entire application and complete it thoroughly. Because there are limited spaces available, our decision will be based on the content and quality of your complete application. Qualifying students will be invited to interview in mid-February. The Teen Apprenticeship Program is a dual spring apprenticeship and summer internship program. Program dates are Saturdays from February 15th to June 7th. Students who are selected can choose a morning time slot (10:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.) or an afternoon time slot (1:00 p.m. – 3:00 p.m.). Students will meet at 75 West End Ave, New York, NY 10023. The program also includes select Tuesdays in May at various campsites. 

During the spring, students will gain expertise in the fundamentals of art, learn how to instruct young children in basic art lessons, and learn about the expectations of the workplace. Students may be invited to visit museums and galleries to learn more about the world of art around them. *Successful completion of the spring apprenticeship leads to a paid in-person summer internship as an art instructor at a summer camp from July 7 to August 15. There is no prior experience necessary. 

*Please note, dates are subject to change.
