Internship On Tour! Usher Launches Initiative Ahead Of Tour With Chris Brown
Written by Tariq on May 11, 2026
Usher has launched a new internship program in connection with his upcoming R&B: Raymond and Brown tour with Chris Brown. The singer’s nonprofit, Usher’s New Look (UNL), partnered with the Boys & Girls Club of Greater Detroit to launch the Entertainment Industry Club: Live Touring Edition — a workforce development program to help its participants build career pipelines in the world of touring.
The initiative, which is being integrated into Usher’s tour with Chris Brown this year, will feature 10 interns from Detroit and Atlanta who are at least 18 years old. The participants will get hands-on training in aspects of touring, such as production, operations, and wardrobe. To prepare for their roles, interns will take part in pre-tour training so they’re ready to go come showtime. Another aspect of the program is Spark Sessions: “Making of the Tour,” which will give Boys & Girls Clubs youth across the country behind-the-scenes access to the forthcoming trek.
Usher expressed the importance of the internship program in an official statement. “At Usher’s New Look, we’ve always believed talent is everywhere, but access is not,” Usher said. “This program is opening doors and putting young professionals in a position to learn, grow, and work inside the entertainment trades.”
