Every summer, Soulpepper invites 14 youth (ages 16-19) to work with Soulpepper artists and company mentors in a six-week intensive program. This program is aimed at providing youth with creative programming and mentorship opportunities that enhances their knowledge, understanding and experience of the performing arts. The participants are exposed to various art forms including movement, scene work, music, visual art, spoken word, writing and dance, and have the opportunity to be mentored by Soulpepper Company artists. Through these experiences the youth develop a showcase presentation to share with family and friends at the Young Centre for the Performing Arts. No experience is required from the youth, just an interest in exploring their city, the arts and the collective creation process with dynamic new people.

The program is free and we provide a $20 cash allowance per session to each participant to help with meal and transportation costs.
