🐧 What Does a Penguin Project Mentor Do?
The Penguin Project gives young people with disabilities the opportunity to participate in a modified version of a Broadway musical.
Each artist is paired with a peer mentor, ages 10–23, who rehearses and performs alongside them. Mentors help their artist with lines, music, choreography and whatever support they may need along the way.
More importantly, they're there to be a friend, teammate and source of encouragement throughout the experience.
💜 Why Become a Mentor?
No theater experience is required! The Penguin Project is looking for young people who are kind, dependable, encouraging and ready to make new friends.
Along the way, mentors can:
🎭 Gain theater experience
🤝 Build friendships
⭐ Develop leadership skills
💜 Be part of an inclusive community
⏰ Earn 100+ community service hours

❗ It's NOT Too Late to Join!
The informational meeting was held August 24, but that was not a registration deadline. New mentors are still welcome to join!
If you have a tween, teen or young adult ages 10–23 who might be a good fit, now is the time to reach out.
