…Resident Advisor during YoungArts Week
Each January up to 160 finalists are invited to participate in a week-long all-expenses-paid trip to Miami. Throughout the years we have turned to our alumni to serve as Resident Advisors. Having experienced YoungArts Week yourself, you can help us continue to create a once in a lifetime experience for these 17- and 18-year-old artists.
…Discipline Coordinator during November Adjudications and YoungArts Week Final Adjudications
In November, the process of selecting YoungArts winners begins as judges from around the nation gather in Miami to review the thousands of submissions received for that year’s program. During this crucial time, YoungArts recruits nine individuals, one for each artistic discipline, to serve as a Discipline Coordinator. The role of a Discipline Coordinator is to serve as the liaison between the judges and staff. After the adjudication process is complete and the winners are chosen, the Discipline Coordinators then return to Miami during YoungArts Week in January. In Miami they once again serve as the critical link between the panelists who review the finalists and YoungArts.

…perform at YoungArts Events
The alumni of YoungArts are a true testament to the important role that YoungArts plays in the arts in America. Throughout the year YoungArts has many different events at which our alumni are invited to perform. These events range from small gatherings to our annual
An Affair of the Arts Performance and Gala. We are always interested in exposing our Board Members, donors, and supporters to the talent of our alumni.
…assist with a school visit
As an alumnus of YoungArts you are the most effective representative of our program. Therefore, by visiting high schools in your area and explaining our program to prospective participants, you can be the inspiration for young artists to apply to YoungArts. With your help we can ensure that YoungArts continues to grow into the premier arts organization in the nation.
…participate in a YoungArts Fest
YoungArts Fests are formal presentations given by our staff and performances given by alumni within the nation’s schools. These celebrations of the arts are a valuable tool in engaging America’s young artists to participate in our program and use their talent to hopefully become part of the YoungArtsfamily.
…list us on your bio
You can help us make YoungArts awards a nationally recognized honor by listing your award in your bio and resume. The more that we can get the word out about YoungArts and how many young artists’ lives it has affected, the more we will become embedded in contemporary American culture.
and stay in touch
Your success is, truly, our success! Your accomplishments not only help us promote YoungArts, they can inspire hundreds of other young artists and build support for YoungArts programs. Please keep us updated by sending your most current bio, resume and happenings to the Manager of Alumni Relations at
