Mentor/mentee pairs over the years

Years of the program

🖊️ Overview

Ad Club’s mentorship program pairs students and young professionals one-on-one with an advertising professional with a compatible work interest with at least 5 years of agency experience.

Mentors who have volunteered their time will provide their mentee with professional guidance, typically in the forms of portfolio / resume reviews and book / website / blog recommendations. Mentors also recommend networking events / lectures / forums for the mentee to attend, and help guide them in furthering their careers. Many of our mentees have gone on to work at local agencies and go on to serve on the Ad Club Board.

This is a FREE 2-semester length program beginning in October and finalizing in May.

Let their success do the talking.
