Youth Mentorship

We engage with local youth through Oakland Public Library and Public High Schools. Our student intern program for ages 15-25 teaches artistic excellence, organizational, curatorial, and entrepreneurial skills. Participating students have been awarded full scholarships and graduated from prestigious art schools, such as the California College of the Arts (CCA).

Our youth program has collaborated with the Oakland Museum of California, First Place for Youth, Bay Area Community Services, the Oakland Public Library, Oakland First Frrday and so much more.

We also offer customizable internships for young people, age 15-25. Guided by a collective member mentor, interns produce a unique project and gain experience in arts organizing. Internship hours may be certified academic credit. To get more involved about out current program email info@rpscollective.org
