Back in 2019, Jessica, the student I was mentoring for @artsemergency.bsky.social won the @orwellprize.bsky.social with a dystopian short story about a near-future Britain where kids are separated into bands depending on their predicted employability. Was not expecting reality to catch up so soon.

Hey @artsemergency.bsky.social has their call open for mentors again! You get paired with a young person approx. 16-17 and talk to them once a month, it's great and not very much work at all and the organisation is ALWAYS short of mentors who work in games

Arts Emergency mentors are hand-matched with a bright, curious young person. They meet for one hour a month for 12 months, share their experience, offer encouragement and help their mentee navigate the path beyond school or college.

As Julie puts it: "things simply don't exist anymore for young people who are trying to access a life in the arts. I think my generation did a really bad thing in lifting the ladder behind us when we got any modicum of success. Thankfully Arts Emergency is here to step in."

Julie recognises that her success wasn't built on talent alone - it was also made possible by state support systems that gave her the space, resources & opportunities to build an incredible career. Those systems simply don't exist in the same way today. 👉 www.arts-emergency.org/donate

If you've got a spare couple of quid and want to support a good thing, this is one you could consider. Arts Emergency help working-class young people get into arts careers (because opportunities are reliant on who you know, and because funding for arts is being cut so much).
