2024 Community Presenter Mentorship Program

Work with a skilled mentor to expand your committee’s knowledge and skills.  

Community Presenters (volunteer arts committees that activate community venues with creative and performing arts experiences) are invited to submit an Expression of Interest for our 2024 Community Presenter Mentorship Program.  

The mentorship program runs for 12-months and supports presenters to connect with a mentor with relevant skills and expertise. Mentorships are deliberately flexible and responsive, tailored to the specific skills development needs of the committee or a nominated representative.   

Our team will help to match successful Community Presenters with a mentor with specific skills and expertise in area/s of interest to the committee.  Applicants are also welcome to identify a specific mentor if there is someone in this category who they would like to work with.  

Once presenters have been matched with a mentor, we will support each partnership to identify key aims and develop a framework and structure for the mentorship and provide ongoing support for both mentors and mentees throughout the program.  

Applications are now open and will close at 5pm on Monday 21 October.
