Testimonials
“The opportunity to collaborate with viBe Theater Experience came through a referral from one of our partner organizations, Cool Culture, for the Bloomberg Arts Internship - a paid internship and college readiness program for NYC teens that places them at various arts & cultural worksites. Since then, Studio Institute's partnership with viBe has been incredibly rewarding; as an organization that centers its mission on nurturing the creativity of young girls, women, and nonbinary people of color, viBe staff have been exceptional supervisors and mentors to our teen interns. Not only has viBe provided growth opportunities for our interns to succeed professionally, but they also empower our teens to be selective with their job application process and determine if future workplaces align with their personal values. As one of our program goals includes self-advocacy, Studio has been grateful for sharing these similar goals with viBE in enabling young people to make decisions for themselves and cultivating future generations of arts leaders. We are so thankful for our partnership.”

“I've been so impressed by how viBe cultivates and nurtures young leaders, introducing them to and preparing them for experiences and jobs in the theatre. viBe takes theatre—which can sometimes be perceived as exclusive or out of reach—and makes it accessible, available, and relevant. Congratulations to viBe on 20 years of dedication and success!”

“viBe Theater Experience is a wonderful organization that embodies its mission. I was honored to lead a Meditation & Breathwork workshop for the community. For many, it was their first time trying Breathwork, and it was a beautiful experience!”

“The viBe Theater community has greatly impacted me not only as a mentor but as a big sister to young women in the arts! Whether it’s in 1:1 mentorship sessions or fireside chats, I will forever be grateful for this organization for creating a community of young artists in the making of positively changing the world one day at a time!”

“I believe that viBe Theater has helped me be more friendly and open up more quickly in front of people. Their ‘no judge’ attitude allowed for me to feel that they will welcome me in any way they can. viBe, I feel, leads a very strong community and passionate environment. It really gave me a sense on how to treat a job and the professionalism that comes with it.”

viBeApprentice through Bloomberg Arts Internship Program
viBe is an amazing organization that inspired me to be my authentic self. During my time participating in the programs I felt like I found my tribe, because I shared so many interests with others within the organization. viBe opened up my creative side to a level I was afraid of reaching. Thanks to viBe I am so much more vulnerable and deep in the art I create.
