What Is Teen Leadership Council?
The High Museum of Art's Teen Leadership Council is a paid, year-long workplace and leadership experience for 15 high-school students interested in art and community. The current 2026-27 cohort is already selected; the next application cycle has not been announced.
Members begin with a mandatory six-week summer intensive at the High, then continue through the school year. They go behind the scenes with staff, learn how exhibitions and collections work, explore museum and creative careers, build workplace and teamwork skills, and help plan the museum's two annual Teen Takeovers.
