Youth at Riverzedge Arts spend hundreds of hours working with mentors, professional artists, clients, and engaged community members. The results are significant for our youth – we see improvements in school performance, reductions of substance abuse, and higher rates of college attendance. Without dedicated volunteers, we could not make this happen. Consider helping teens at Riverzedge with your time, expertise, or business skills.
If you are interested in volunteering, please email info@riverzedgearts.org

Art & Design Studio Mentor
Studio mentors work with teen artists in the Design Works, Media Works, Print Works, Public Art Lab and Green Design Lab studios, helping them develop their skills in art, design, and technology, as well as science, math, and engineering. Mentors are positive role models, helping teens develop their technical skills and critical and conceptual thinking. Mentors also provide valuable guidance and feedback to teens navigating a challenging phase of their life journey.
