ICAI Mentorship Application Form
Thank you for your interest in mentoring newcomers through the Immigrant Council for Arts Innovation (ICAI). We offer 2 mentorship programs: the Newcomer Arts Professional Program (NAPP) [previously called the Immigrant Arts Mentorship Program (IAMP)] and the Mentors in Residence (MiR) program.

While NAPP is a paid program, MiR is a volunteer program. 

Please take the time to complete this application form carefully.

Applications for MiR and NAPP mentors are accepted on an ongoing basis throughout the year.

Please note that submitting an application does not guarantee selection as a mentor. Mentor selection is based on the specific needs of our members for MiR and the mentees selected for NAPP.
