Dorill Initiative (Dorill) is a revolutionary arts and culture institution committed to unleashing the boundless potential and radical power of At-Promise Youth, fueling movements that defy oppressive systems and ignite a creative uprising.

Through unapologetically rigorous and grassroots arts education, we forge Young Citizen Artists into disruptors, training them to tell their raw, authentic stories through high-caliber artistic mastery, bold academic inquiry, intentional self-awareness and civic action.

We are equipping the Next Generation of DoERs to not just lead, but to dismantle, reimagine, and rebuild communities as visionary change-makers who challenge the status quo and stand fiercely in the gap for equity and justice.

The Dorill Initiative is seeking an inspired and creative Artistic Coach to mentor young artists and creatives, fostering a culture of disruption and radical innovation. The Artistic Coach will guide youth participants in honing their artistic skills while challenging conventional methods, encouraging risk-taking, and helping them explore new and disruptive forms of expression. This role focuses on empowering youth to use their creativity as a vehicle for personal growth, social impact, and leadership, leveraging the arts as a transformative tool for self-discovery and innovation.

Program Development & Facilitation: Design and implement arts-based workshops, classes, and projects that integrate creative thinking, technical skill development, and social impact. Ensure programs align with Dorill’s mission to promote radical innovation and disruption through the arts.

Artistic Exploration & Innovation: Push the boundaries of artistic practice by introducing participants to unconventional methods, interdisciplinary approaches, and avant-garde techniques. Encourage participants to experiment, question the status quo, and embrace failure as part of the creative journey.

Performance & Exhibition Support: Help youth prepare for performances, showcases, and exhibitions, coaching them through the process of presenting their work in public spaces. Support them in developing the confidence and skills needed to share their vision with the world.

Critical Reflection & Feedback: Foster an environment where critical feedback is embraced as a tool for growth. Provide constructive feedback on participant projects, encouraging continuous learning, refinement, and artistic evolution.

Collaboration & Cross-Disciplinary Work: Encourage and facilitate collaboration between youth participants, guiding them in co-creating projects that blend multiple art forms and perspectives. Foster a collaborative creative culture that reflects Dorill’s commitment to inclusivity and innovation.

Trauma-Informed Coaching: Use trauma-informed practices to ensure that all coaching interactions are safe, supportive, and empathetic. Understand the challenges that marginalized youth may face and integrate sensitivity and care into all mentorship efforts.

Leadership Development through Art: Empower youth to take ownership of their artistic vision and projects, encouraging them to see themselves as leaders and change-makers through their creative work. Support participants in understanding how their art can drive social change and impact their communities.

Evaluation & Continuous Improvement: Track participant progress and outcomes, using data and feedback to continuously refine coaching methods and artistic programs. Use creative assessment tools to measure growth in artistic skill, innovation, and personal development.
