Thank you for your interest in being a Mentor for Urban Word NYC!
Please complete the below application, and our program staff will reach out to you within 3-5 weeks with a decision around your candidacy.
Note: Our teaching artists are among the most experienced, talented and visible in New York City, and they are also, in many ways, the life-blood of our organization. While we accept applications on a rolling basis, our applicant pool is extremely competitive and we are unable to guarantee placement for many accomplished teaching artists. As our needs shift as an organization, however, so to do the artists we require for programming, so please follow up periodically throughout the year if you are not selected at this time.
