Programs
Through the Mentorship Program, students and young professionals will be paired one-on-one with an advertising professional with at least 5 years of agency experience. Mentors who have volunteered their time will provide their mentee with professional guidance in the form of portfolio reviews and book / website / blog recommendations. Mentors can 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 serve on the Ad Club Board.
Program benefits include: free student entrance to all happy hours, first to be offered volunteer opportunity for Richmond Show set up for free entrance to the show, discounted rates to The Richmond Show. Introduction to up to 5 local agencies each year. Exclusive insight into industry job postings and events
This is a FREE three month program beginning mid March and finalizing in May. Mentees will be paired with select advertising professionals in the Richmond community who will offer their expertise and recommendations on their portfolios and books/websites/blogs that guide creative professionals. Carried out entirely over Zoom and web events, you can expect to spend 1-3 hours a week meeting with your mentee, curating resources, and connecting with the full group in meetings and workshops.
