2017 FOCUS ON YOUTH

SANCTUARY wants to help young women with promising, future careers to gain exposure and to be able to share their passions with a broader community. Each year, we dedicate an issue to young women.
After careful consideration, the SANCTUARY editors have chosen three amazing, young women to feature in our second annual "Focus on Youth" issue. These aspiring artists and community leaders have demonstrated outstanding commitment to their community or craft.
TO SPONSOR OUR ANNUAL FOCUS ON YOUTH ISSUE, WRITE TO US:
seniorstaff@sanctuary-magazine.com

Each student was asked the following question:
​
Have you had a mentor(s)? How has he/she helped you to grow/reach your goals?
Their answers are posted below.
Please click on photos to view their individual pages.

The Plainfield Academy for the Arts and Advanced Studies - NJ
Singer & Songwriter
"I have two very important mentors. Of course, they are my parents. Who else could serve as better mentors than your parents? They support me in everything I do. And - YES - my family is also musical. My dad started on the drums and also plays organ and piano. My mom is a singer. So they support me in life as well as my musical pursuits. My paternal grandfather and my maternal grandmother were recording artists. And my aunt, Vernell Scovil, is formerly of the duo Koffee Brown. There's lots of music in my family!

Alfred University - NY
Sculptor & Painter
"Two people stand out to me. Ms. Gross was my high school ceramics teacher who taught me how to first make something out of clay. She encouraged me to continue, and I was always going to Ms. Gross’s room during free time to talk and to make more art. That art class experience was one of the main motivators in my decision to pursue art in college. My other mentor is Linda Sormin, a ceramic artist and professor at Alfred University, who always pushed me to go out of my comfort zone and try something new."

Tufts University - MA
Community Leader & Philanthropist
"Claire Bennett was one of my instructors during my time in Nepal and one of the main reasons I became involved with GlobeMed at Tufts. She was a founding member of PHASE Worldwide and has since created PEPY Tours, an educational travel organization. Claire was my introduction to what it truly meant to be a global citizen, and encouraged me to go into every experience eager and ready to learn from the people around me. She has always been open, caring, and thoughtful, providing insight from her experience while giving me enough space to explore and understand from my own perspective in my own time. Claire has been an invaluable mentor, and I am so grateful for her knowledge and friendship."
