We would like to thank the Deutsche Bank Americas Foundation for their visionary leadership in the arts, and for the generous support and ongoing guidance without which this innovative guide would not have been possible. When forward-thinking funders like Deutsche Bank and youth-serving organizations like the Partnership for After School Education (PASE) come together to help young people explore their life options, everyone benefits.

Examine a colorful neighborhood mural, watch dancers defy gravity in a subway station, or listen to a streetcorner cypher, and you’ll find evidence of the enormous creative potential of New York City youth.

Many of the city’s youth face intense challenges on a daily basis, and out-of- chool hours both pose the greatest risk and offer the largest potential for personal growth. PASE works with 1,200 community-based organizations throughout New York City to develop quality programs that bridge the out-of-school time gaps in the lives of more than half a million youth citywide.

PASE’s arts programs challenge young people to develop personally, socially, emotionally, and artistically through intensive arts and personal development activities. One way in which this is achieved is through Arts Career Expos, which connect young people to creative professions through panel discussions, hands-on workshops, and distribution of materials about free programs.

The Arts Career Guide is a crucial component of the arts programs PASE conducts throughout the city, many of which are made possible by the support and leadership of the Deutsche Bank Americas Foundation. This guide is designed to provide young people, their families, and those who work with them every day a place to go for information about the amazing diversity of career options in the arts, how to get started, and where to go for free or low-cost programs in New York City.
