Welcome to Teen Arts Ambassadors
Why we started a teen-led program to open doors in the arts, and what's coming first.
Talent is everywhere. Access isn’t. A teen may have the drive to pursue acting, music, writing or film, but not the same financial resources, family support or industry guidance as someone else. Teen Arts Ambassadors exists to close that gap.
Teens take initiative
We’re a youth-led, charity-driven program of the Majestic Empire Foundation. A founding group of ambassadors in grades 9–12 runs three teams: industry & career prep, media & storytelling, and events & fundraising. Teens organize, create and lead the work themselves, with adult mentorship and Foundation support.
Opportunity, not just assistance
Our events raise money for competitive scholarships that teens apply for and earn. With Foundation approval, awards can help with professional headshots, classes, workshops and other career preparation. Recipients never have to publicly share personal financial circumstances.
What’s coming first
- A launch night to meet the founding ambassadors
- Hands-on workshops like an on-camera audition lab
- Industry nights with working artists
- Open mics and showcases where teens can practice and be seen
