AMVA Mentorship Program

If you are an early-career musician, administrator, organizer, creative, creator and/or a student living in the United States who identifies as Asian, Asian American, or Pacific Islander and is interested in gaining knowledge, skills, and confidence in leadership, arts administration, or skills to successfully develop your own creative projects, the AMVA Mentorship Program offers an amazing opportunity to receive one-to-one coaching sessions with movers and shakers in the arts and classical music fields. The topics covered will be left open to the participant to decide and can include questions about fundraising, resumes, job applications, career goals, resources, and more.

Our coaches for the inaugural AMVA Mentorship Program are Emily Master and Michael Sakamoto. Read more about their work below.

The program will take place in May and June 2022 and depending on the volume of applicants, each participant will have two private sessions with a mentor or be placed in a group of two people for two mentorship sessions. If you are placed in a two-person group, the topic of interest from the two participants will be similar (i.e. both have questions about resumes).

If you are interested in participating in the program, please fill out this short application form.

DEADLINE: Friday, April 22, 2022, 11:59 PM EST
