The Performing Arts Ambassadors program will expose students to the diversity of what is offered at DPAC and give them a behind-the-scenes look at the industry, according to a news release. Participants will volunteer at events and work as social media ambassadors. They also may have the chance to participate in master classes and workshops with professional tours.
“We want students to know that there are an abundance of possibilities for working in performing arts – what you see on stage has an infinite amount of work behind the grand curtain," said Megan Rindoks, Community Outreach Manager at DPAC, in the news release. "Exposing students early to a career in what they’re passionate about can help pinpoint a career and lead them on a lifetime of supporting the arts.”
To participate, students must:
- Be a high school student in Durham County as of August 2018
- Have and maintain a B average or higher.
- Have access to a computer and at least one social media account (Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, etc.)
- Be willing and able to write and/or film occasional reviews.
- Complete 10 volunteer hours throughout the school year.
- Respond to any program-related emails within a designated time frame (usually 24 hours).
- Be able to attend occasional meetings (dates TBA) and evening performances at DPAC.
