HOW IT WORKS
Over the course of the six-week program (one hour session each week), 10 elementary school students are paired with 10 volunteers, who guide and encourage the students as they imagine, develop, and write their own short screenplay. At the end of the six-week session, professional actors (all volunteers) join students and mentors in staging The Big Show, a spirited staged reading of each script for an audience of family, teachers, and friends.

WHY I MENTOR
The time commitment is minimal but the rewards are immense! Each time I mentor I am amazed by the sheer brilliance that comes out of these talented young writers. These kids' imaginations are limitless and it is inspiring watching them create. It is also a great way for you to encourage the next generation of artists. It's important to note that you don't have to be a writer to mentor - you just have to enjoy storytelling and allow the children to guide you!
