Teen Mentorship
The Ah Haa School for the Arts is pleased to offer a program available to middle and high school students. A few lucky teens will be selected to work as teacher assistants during Ah Haa School’s 2011 summer season and be rewarded at the end of the summer with payment. Students will work directly with the instructors and college interns learning techniques to teach younger students ages 4 - 12. The number of hours available will be determined by the amount of funds raised for this mentorship program through the Colorado Council on the Arts, Just for Kids Foundation and private donations. We estimate 40-60 hours per teen mentor. Download an application here.
