Internships
#BEYONDTHEMAINSTAGE
In partnership with the GRAMMY Museum (GRAMMY U), this group mentorship program builds community amongst industry leaders, young adults, and potential talent. It is a yearly series of panel discussions on booking, tour management, production, and marketing.
LIVE OUT L!VE NATIONAL MENTORSHIP PROGRAM
A group of 50 diverse students of color, ages 14-22, participates in this three-month virtual program twice a year. Mentees are paired 1:1 with professionals and spend half the mentorship exploring job roles and responsibilities, then the next half creating an action plan to apply for an internship, work at a live event, and more.
