CTE Interns and Mentors
Grow as a Leader. Inspire Young Artists.
🌟 What This Program Is All About
Arts Festival is powered not just by instructors — but by you.
Mentors and Interns are the heart of our community: big-energy role models who lead games, create safe spaces, build joy, and help every young artist feel like they belong.
You’ll collaborate, problem-solve, support each other, and grow in real leadership — all while making friendships that actually last.
