CAMINOS
An ESB-MACC Teen Leadership Program
Caminos Class of 2024 Graduation
CAMINOS is a paid internship program empowering teens between the ages of 16 and 18 in the Austin, Texas area to start their creative journeys and help them start carving a career in the arts early on.
Welcome to our Blog!
As a Program
Our goal is to help Austin-area teens get a head start in the art scene in Austin while connecting with their community and the Latinx culture within it. We do this by participating in events held at our home base, the Emma S. Barrientos Mexican American Cultural Center, as well as by connecting with local emerging artists and hosting a few events/workshops ourselves.
