A Call to Arts

Join us in mentoring the next generation of storytellers!

Every great artist is inevitably asked, “What are your influences? Who inspired you?” For the next generation of storytellers, the answer may be you.

SAG-AFTRA and the American Film Institute have partnered with President Barack Obama and the White House to reach out to young people pursuing careers in the arts. In collaboration with industry colleagues and partner organizations, this national effort aims to generate more than a million hours of mentoring over three years.

Your experience and insight are invaluable to the creative voices who will be the architects of tomorrow’s culture. Maybe you’re already volunteering to teach a class, hosting an intern or reading to children in school. All of these activities count!

Join us in A Call to Arts today by registering and recording your mentoring hours here.

Contact Linda Dowell at neworleans@sagaftra.org if you have any questions.
