The role

A guide, not a teacher.

The Global Music Initiative helps students in rural and low-income communities grow as musicians. Each student learns from professional masterclasses through Hulili, GMI's AI coach, and is paired with a GMI mentor.

Hulili and the masterclasses handle the lessons. Mentors help with everything else. That might mean pointing a student toward an instrument loan program, a local teacher, a summer camp, a scholarship, or simply helping them stay motivated.

You don't need to be a music major. Some of the best mentors are students who remember how hard it was to find these doors themselves.

Every mentor completes a background check and a short training before working with a student.
