Junior Ambassadors Program

High school juniors and seniors can explore the various disciplines of the theater industry through BPA’s Junior Ambassadors program. This unique opportunity provides an excellent educational and hands-on volunteer experience in the performing arts as well as a peek behind the curtain. Over the course of the school year, Junior Ambassadors may serve as volunteer ushers in Blumenthal venues while attending a series of seminars, through which they will learn about the artistic and professional avenues of the arts. Also, the chance to gather in social settings will enhance their interpersonal skills, build self-confidence, and foster a network of peers and professionals throughout the year-long program.

Every year, the Junior Ambassadors program is offered with great pride and excitement from Blumenthal Performing Arts. Last year, we successfully made a return to in-person programming and volunteer shifts and Blumenthal is committed to safely continuing with Junior Ambassadors this year in the same format. The program will commence with in-person seminars, social events and volunteer opportunities, however, we’re prepared to lean on virtual platforms if needed.  

We’re currently accepting applications at this time for rising high school juniors and seniors in Charlotte area schools. The application window will close on Friday, September 8th but we encourage students to submit their materials sooner than later. 

THE 2023-2024 APPLICATION WINDOW IS NOW CLOSED and there is no rolling admission into the program. Anyone interested in applying for 2024-2025 can check back in May when applications re-open for next year!
