The JL Legacy Fund Mentorship Engagement Program is a participant-driven pilot program that connects a selected group of emerging New Brunswick creatives in film, visual art, writing, photography, music, and theatre with established creative professionals who can provide expert level advice and networking opportunities to help them. With this program, the Fund seeks to identify and support emerging talent with a focus on diversity. This nine-month mentorship and guidance program brings together ten participants with their ten mentors through in-person and/or digital channels.

The program runs from May 2025 to January 2026. Selected mentees for the program will spend four hours a month with their mentors one-on-one, if approved by the JL Mentorship Engagement Program. They will also attend specialized virtual workshops which include mental health and networking support with creative specialists. The mentees should apply with a specific project that they are having challenges starting or completing.

Note: Before you apply, ensure that you are available for the scheduled Zoom sessions and mental health sessions.

If you have questions about the program, email Jane LeBlanc Legacy Fund.
