WHAT IS AN NEYT MENTOR?

Whether it’s putting together the Mentor Cabaret, taking leadership roles in Junior Company shows, organizing a community clean-up day, or simply bonding with one another for a potluck and movie night, the Mentors represent the lifeblood of NEYT. Started by Sandy Klein in 2003, the idea from the beginning was to empower a core group of young people to take on leadership roles in our community. If you are warmly welcomed by an older member of the cast on your first-day-ever at NEYT, it’s probably a mentor; if you notice some teenager wielding a dustpan and broom after a Junior Company snack break, it’s probably a mentor; and if you notice the spirit of NEYT to be especially inclusive, dynamic, supportive, and vibrant – you probably have the mentors to thank for that as well.
