Resources
Model Alliance Support
Models, we’re here to help. Through Model Alliance Support, we assist working and aspiring models with complaints about inappropriate on-the-job conduct, agent issues, and other work-related problems.
Unemployment
In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, we published a tailored guide for models who are seeking information about how to file an unemployment insurance claim. We have included information relevant to New York, California, and Florida, as these are the states where most models in our community are based.
Modeling Scams
Unfortunately, young and aspiring models are often the targets of modeling scams that are potentially dangerous. We have created a guide detailing the most common warning signs of modeling scams and advice for staying safe.
