The Remix Project is a youth program that acts as an arts and cultural incubator in Toronto, Canada, North America’s cultural capital. Young people aspiring to start careers in the urban arts sector drive the program by developing personal six month plans for success. We help these entrepreneurs through:
• A knowledgeable and supportive staff team, ready to guide youth through their career choices and six-month plans.
• A 4,800 sq. ft. facility, with a full recording studio, business development centre, visual art lab, video editing suite & more.
• A range of mentors, who are relevant industry professionals work one on one with young people to provide guidance and feedback in greater detail.
• Regular workshops that bring in industry professionals to talk about their experiences, and give practical steps to maintaining a successful career.
Upon completion of the 6 month cycle, our youth can choose to get follow-up support in three areas:
Young people have the ability to earn high school credits through their coop programs or possibly obtain a scholarship to a post secondary institution.
Internships are made possible for participants because our staff team is extremely connected in our urban industries.
Remix works with young people to identify grants, bursaries, and loans to help them get their businesses and ventures started. Remix has started-up a brand new micro-credit program which will be able to lend loans of $300 to $1000.
