What Does a Navigator Do?
Navigators are Mastrius members who support mentorship groups by handling key administrative tasks that help sessions run smoothly.
As a Navigator, you support both the mentor and the group by organizing homework, managing forms, hosting mid-month sessions, and assisting with Zoom tools. Your role helps remove friction so mentors can focus on teaching and members can focus on learning.
Navigators do not facilitate sessions or lead group discussions. Instead, they contribute behind the scenes while participating fully as a mentee in the monthly mentorship session.
This role is ideal for members who value community, enjoy helping others succeed, and want to contribute in a meaningful, practical way.
Navigators experience strong personal growth by learning alongside mentors and members, gaining insight into multiple groups, and building confidence through responsibility and service.
If you care about community, reliability, and supporting creative growth, we invite you to apply to join our Navigator team.
Why I became a navigator
Annae Jones | Lead Navigator
I came to Mastrius looking to develop my artistic skills, and while I certainly did that, I discovered so much more. I found a life-giving, non-competitive, and supportive community. Building friendships and learning from artists and Mentors from all over the world has seen my art practice grow in leaps and bounds. I found where I belonged and I wanted to help others feel that way, too.
Becoming a Navigator felt natural to me because I have a strong belief in helping others. I have witnessed the growth of my artistic peers and felt strengthened and supported by this inclusive generous community. Being a Navigator has allowed me to pay it forward.
Mastrius helped accelerate my technical and leadership skills. I also discovered the importance of community. Since joining, I’ve found my artistic voice, and developed both artistic and personal confidence. Before Mastrius, I never would have envisioned myself as a serious artist.
If this resonates with you, then becoming a Navigator may be the right next step in your artistic journey.
