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, photography, writing, 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 mentorship and guidance program brings together five mentees with their five mentors through in-person and/or digital channels.

The program spans 9 months, beginning in April annually and running to December. Selected mentees for the program will spend four hours a month with their mentors one-on-one, if approved by the JL Legacy Fund Mentorship Engagement Program. They will also attend specialized virtual workshops which include mental health and networking support with creative specialists. Mentees should apply with a specific project that they are having challenges starting or completing.

The Jane LeBlanc Legacy Fund is committed to diverse and inclusive representation. We encourage BIPOC, LGBTQIA2S+, and other underrepresented communities to submit to our programs.
