PAL Canada’s Inter-Generational Arts & Entertainment Youth Masterclass Series

Through this inter-generational Masterclass experience for youth (14-30), especially Indigenous youth, PAL Canada is striving to promote volunteerism and mentorship opportunities among seniors. Throughout Behind the Scenes of 2022-23, we will work to increase engagement of seniors in our community through the mentoring of youth from coast-to-coast-to-coast in Canada, connecting talent nationwide in the process. This experience benefits the youth by providing an opportunity in a virtual classroom to learn from seasoned professionals within the arts and entertainment industry about great jobs and careers many have never heard of … yet! #KeepThatPassionAlive

Key Objectives

  • Youth gaining practical knowledge and career tips from experienced field experts
  • Provide a mentorship role to Canadian youth seeking great jobs in Canadian arts & entertainment, by showcasing behind the scenes careers, which few know
  • Seniors building self-esteem, by sharing their knowledge and expertise with another generation, providing an inter-generational experience for both
  • Partners gain inter-generational recognition and branding visibility, associated with learning
  • Youth provided with a creative bridge to PAL Canada
  • Assist PAL’s seven Chapters to gain more recognition through the PAL brand
  • Nourish PAL Canada’s “succession planning” to bring youth into the organization  
  • Fun, interactive and edifying for all
