| Sphinx funded a 9-week mentorship program with 7 students of color to be mentored by CMCB staff and community members on how to build a career in music and arts administration. “As a young professional in the non-profit sector, I found our weekly sessions with and the content included to be INCREDIBLY valuable – it feels like I took a crash course in non-profits!” – Rachel Forbes “This program helped me learn more about various careers in the arts and particularly that there are many more careers than it first appears.” – Deena Corkindale “This program … broadened my horizons on subjects that I thought I knew about and really demystified all the pro and cons of the Music field.” – Samuel Muzac |
