What's better than helping Michigan's artists to develop their careers into successful business models? Helping the NEXT GENERATION of Michigan's artists, our youth, to understand the types of careers that exist and how they can prepare to earn income doing what they already love!

This event looks like its going to be a wonderful opportunity for media professionals to give back and for students to understand the lay of the land as they prepare to begin their careers, we need more events like this across the state!

Participants in these sessions will learn and share the experiences of the media production workplace. This is a chance for students to discover the multiple technical and interpersonal skills needed to be employable in the careers responsible for the delivery of content for film, video, and Internet used for education, entertainment, and information. Teachers should encourage both female and male students to attend because Radio & TV (SIP 10.0202) is identified as non-traditional for females for the duration of Perkins IV legislation.

Mosaic Youth Theatre

I first heard about Mosaic Youth Theatre earlier this year when The Mosaic Model (click the link to download this study at no charge) was realeased earlier this year. This 3-year study completed by the University of Michigan along with other partners, identified amazing results, in the form of unprecedented high school graduation rates and other forms of youth success, which has been consistently achieved through the work of Mosaic Youth Theatre. They recently held auditions for their FREE training programs, which are open to youth 11-18 from across Metro Detroit. Please click the logo below to learn more about this amazing program.

...Mosaic Youth Theatre of Detroit is founded on the richness of difference. Our young artists come from city and suburban schools, and a variety of social, economic, racial, cultural and religious backgrounds. Through our professional performing arts program, these young artists blend their ideas and talents and achieve excellence in their theatrical and musical performances. Yet, their success is perhaps best measured by how they excel in life. Mosaic proudly reports that more than 95% of its youth ensemble members graduate from high school and go on to college.
