Creative Development Mentorships for Indigenous Youth

I would like to begin by honoring your interest in learning how creative development mentorships make remote communities more creative, innovative and successful.

A lot of young people in northern remote communities feel like everyone else – everywhere else have opportunities that they never will…and that’s really discouraging. 

Tribe of One loves to provide creative development mentorships in these communities to give students an opportunity to DISCOVER what they’re good at, DEVELOP their skill set and GAIN the CONFIDENCE they need to succeed.

Here are 10 ways creative development mentorships transform communities,

They give youth a WIN.
There are a lot of struggles and pressures in life. Students need to experience a win, and the best way to do that is to provide an opportunity for them to discover what they’re good at and play to their strengths so they can experience taking pride in what they’ve done. That’s encouraging and empowering!


They build Confidence.
Mentorship projects use these positive experiences to help youth gain confidence. Confidence is the key to identifying their goals and visions and recognizing the steps they need to take to be successful.


Develop Valuable Life Skills.
Being Creative has something to do with everything, from team building and problem-solving to conflict resolution. Mentorships help students discover the value of their piece and how it fits with those around them.


See Themselves with New Eyes.
What we think is normal, other people find amazing. Mentorships help students see themselves with new eyes and recognize the value of their talents, abilities, experiences and education they discover what makes them amazing.



Discover Creative Careers.
There are many exciting careers available and opportunities for creative entrepreneurs. Technology is constantly disrupting the ways things have always been done, which provide a world of possibilities. Mentorships help students discover careers they never knew existed.


Using The Power of Imagination
Imagine the difference it would make to have professional content creators FROM your community able to produce stories FOR your community. It’s a game-changer for tourism, attracting investors, recording traditional language and the stories of elders.



Opportunity & Ongoing Support.
A student can’t choose a career they don’t know exists. And they can develop the potential of the tools without access to training. Mentorships provide support for each step of the way to help students stay focused on their goals.



Tools & Training for Success.
Technology makes innovation affordable and accessible. You no longer need to have a state of the art facility in Nashville or LA. Remote northern communities can have access to everything they need and mentorships are ideally suited to develop the skills and networks necessary for success.


Help Create a Valuable Portfolio.
Creative careers rarely require a traditional degree. The first (and most important) question you will be asked is, “what projects have you worked on?” and, “where’s your portfolio” The process and finished product of every project in our mentorship programs help students build their portfolio.



Mentorships Change Lives.
Tribe of One’s mentors are professional artists and entrepreneurs who manage their own companies and international careers. Artistic entrepreneurship provides communities with an exciting opportunity for personal and professional development.

Do you want a creative community? Do you value innovation and want to provide your students with access to new technology? Are you committed to providing opportunities for youth in your community to discover their strengths, develop their skillset and gain the confidence they need to succeed as they face the challenges in their life?

If you answer YES to any of these questions, you owe it to yourself (and the youth in your community) to book a call now, so we can discuss how Creative Development Mentorships can make your community more creative, innovative and successful.
