Residencias comunitarias
Through collaborative efforts with local youth-oriented organizations, Community Residencies aims to broaden the opportunities available for emerging professionals in the arts and beyond.
Además de nuestras asociaciones existentes, The Ford ha puesto a prueba tres extensiones del programa de Residencias Comunitarias con las siguientes organizaciones.
The Ford's Community Residencies program focuses on:
-
Workforce development
Supporting emerging professionals across LA County through targeted professional development, portfolio development resources, and paid hands-on opportunities onsite.
-
Community engagement
Through a youth-centered approach, The Ford collaborates with local organizations to provide and amplify opportunities available for professionals from underrepresented communities, on and off the stage.
