Mission

Teens who participate in the program gain valuable work experience, develop job skills and build their self-esteem and confidence.
Vision
Meet Our 2025–2026 My First Job Cohort
This year’s cohort represents the next generation of leaders, creatives, and changemakers. As participants in White Hall Arts Academy’s My First Job program, these teens are stepping into their very first work experience with curiosity, dedication, and a passion for the arts. More than just assistants, they are junior mentors, role models, and vital members of our studio family.
Our culture is rooted in creativity, responsibility, and growth — and these young leaders embody that spirit every day. Through hands-on training, mentorship, and real-world practice, they’re building skills that will carry them far beyond the stage or classroom. We’re proud to guide them on this journey and excited for you to get to know the bright talent behind the scenes.
