| Arts Mentoring for Released Prisoners: Our Mentors Koestler’s Arts Mentors are experienced and enthusiastic arts practitioners who come from a wide range of arts fields. They work one-to-one with ex-offenders, offering 10 mentoring sessions over 12-months. We give our mentors full training and support, but it is our mentor's energy, arts expertise and organisational skills that are helping us find out if the arts make a real difference in the rehabilitation of offenders. So far we have trained 32 arts mentors who are, between them, able to provide mentoring in the following art forms.
We run a rolling recruitment process for mentors, which means we are able to accept applications at any time. Our next training dates will take place in the w/c January 18th 2010. To be considered for this round of training, please send us your application before December 23rd 2009. Interviews with shortlisted candidates will take place in early January. We are particularly looking for Arts Mentors in the following geographical areas:
