AIGA NY Mentoring Program

The AIGA New York's Mentoring Program is made up of volunteer mentors that are paired with high school students based on their shared interests. Mentors introduce their students to the world of work and help them participate in the many cultural events that the city has to offer. Pairs are required to meet for one hour per week or two hours every other week for a total of four hours a month.

AIGA New York works with the New York City Department of Education's Mentoring Program and our partner school, the High School of Art and Design, to effectively coordinate and run our Mentoring Program. The AIGA/NY Mentoring Program was founded in 1993 and currently has about 40 pairs.
