We are pleased to present the newly updated Young Performers Handbook. This digital booklet, which can be found here on the union’s website, sagaftra.org, contains valuable information for young members and their families.
In this publication, you’ll find:
- An overview of SAG-AFTRA membership, including eligibility and responsibilities.
- Information about agents and managers, headshots and resumes, and work permits in California, New York and beyond.
- A summary of the casting process.
- On-set education requirements.
- Workday rules and hours.
- The basics on earnings and health and pension plans.
- A treasure trove of online resources, as well as a listing of organizations that serve SAG-AFTRA members.
- … and much more.
Special thanks go to Young Performers Committee Chair Elizabeth McLaughlin and the entire committee for everything they do to look out for the well-being of our junior members.
Beginning a career can be an exciting endeavor, filled with opportunities and challenges. This handbook provides a summary of relevant information to help members get the right start on that journey.
