Berkeley Arts Magnet

Berkeley, CA

As an arts magnet school, Berkeley Arts Magnet has a lot of unique resources. Mentors have the flexibility to mentor one-on-one or to work with an entire class. BAM utilizes an 'independent pairing process' in which mentors form relationships with mentees rather than being assigned by their school director. No art experience is necessary for mentors!
