About Mentor A Promise

Mentor A Promise (MAP) is a youth-centered nonprofit dedicated to supporting students ages 5–18 experiencing housing instability in New York City. Through mentorship, social-emotional learning, academic enrichment, and creative expression, we create safe, consistent, and empowering spaces for young people to grow, thrive, and succeed. We believe every child deserves a promise kept — and we work every day to make that promise real.

Role Overview

We are seeking Volunteer Children’s Book Illustrators to collaborate with MAP’s Children’s Book Writers and creative team in bringing youth-centered stories to life. Your illustrations will help create engaging, diverse, and empowering books that reflect MAP’s mission of mentorship, resilience, and hope. The ideal candidate is a creative visual storyteller with a passion for children’s literature and a commitment to uplifting underserved youth.

Key Responsibilities

  • Create artwork that reflects diverse, inclusive, and empowering themes
  • Collaborate with writers and program staff to align illustrations with story content
  • Provide sketches, drafts, and final illustrations within agreed timelines

  • Contribute to workshops, readings, or campaigns that showcase MAP’s children’s books

Requirements

  • Proven experience in illustration, with a portfolio showcasing children’s artwork
  • Ability to create age-appropriate and engaging visuals for children ages 5–12
  • Strong collaboration and communication skills
  • Familiarity with digital illustration tools (Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, Procreate, or similar)
  • Commitment to MAP’s mission and values
  • Preferred Skills

  • Experience illustrating published children’s books or educational materials
  • Ability to design layouts for picture books or digital formats
  • Familiarity with themes of mentorship, resilience, and equity
  • Experience working with authors or in collaborative publishing environments
  • What You’ll Gain

  • Opportunity to illustrate stories that inspire and empower children experiencing instability
  • Collaboration with writers, educators, and a mission-driven creative team
  • Hands-on experience contributing to nonprofit publishing and literacy projects
  • A portfolio project that combines illustration with social impact
  • Letters of recommendation and professional references for future opportunities
  • How to Apply

    Please send your resume, LinkedIn profile, and a portfolio of illustration work (children’s art samples preferred) to hr@mentorapromise.org along with a brief statement of interest.
