The YOR Fellowship is a paid program built for young musicians (ages 18–26) who are ready to invest in their creativity, build real‑world professional skills, and join a powerful community of peers and mentors.
Fellows dive into five dynamic layers of growth:
Seminars – inspiring lectures, honest conversations, and networking that connect you with local and national leaders in music, art, and culture.
Young Creative Campus (YCC) – a creative playground for songwriting, recording, media production, and bold collaboration with other emerging artists.
Apprenticeship – hands‑on experience shaping projects and events at Youth on Record, gaining skills that transfer directly into the music and creative industries.
Mentorship – monthly one‑on‑one coaching to sharpen your vision, set goals, and get personalized support on your creative journey.
Community – peer-to-peer connection that builds artistic relationships, collaboration, and collective growth among Fellows.
Over the past eight cohorts, the Fellowship has played an important role in supporting artistic development, building community, creating professional opportunities, and strengthening Denver's creative ecosystem. We are incredibly proud of the artists (scroll down to meet them!) who have participated in the program and the contributions they continue to make to our community.
With this in mind, Youth on Record (YOR) has made the decision to take a strategic pause on launching a new Fellowship in January 2027. The Fellowship will be back, and you’ll have the opportunity to apply, likely within the next year.
In the meantime, we encourage artists to take advantage of our FREE STUDIO BOOKING and and stay tuned for announcements about artistic development workshops launching in early 2027 for rising creatives ages 18-26.
If you have any questions regarding the YOR Fellowship and our artistic development programs, please contact David Ladon, YOR Senior Program Manager at David@youthonrecord.org.
