We
are pleased to announce that we are accepting applications for
Blumenthal Performing Arts’ Junior Ambassadors program for the 2016-2017
school year.
Information and the application
can be found
here.
The
purpose of our Junior Ambassadors program is to provide carefully
selected high school juniors and seniors within the Charlotte Region
with specially designed instructional and volunteer
experiences that will enable them to effectively accomplish the
following goals:
- Cheerfully and capably serve Blumenthal patrons as volunteer ushers in our six, live-performance theaters
- Serve as round-the-clock ambassadors of Blumenthal Performing Arts to family, friends, peers and the community at large
- Become lifelong, knowledgeable and enthusiastic supporters of the performing arts
- Hone personal interaction skills with the general public
- Become better equipped to identify, evaluate and pursue advanced education and career opportunities according to developed skills, interests and passions.
Specific
responsibilities of our Junior Ambassadors include providing ushering
services at a minimum of 14 performances within a seven-month service
period—a commitment that will require roughly
70 hours of service per student. Additionally each Junior Ambassador
must attend a minimum of three Saturday morning seminars related to arts administration and personal development.
