Am I a Mentor or Mentee?

Members can participate as a mentor or a mentee at any point in their career.

Mentors: Give back. Develop future leaders or assist a peer in acquiring new skills. (We recommend mentors have at least 5 years of business experience.) Please login at the top of the page and click here for a Mentor application.

Mentees: Benefit and learn from experienced and successful DC Ad Club members. Please login at the top of the page and click here for a Mentee application.

How Do I Participate? 

  • Fill out the application form (see links below) and submit with your resume or bio to [email protected].
  • DC Ad Club will provide ideas and opportunities to help guide mentoring pairs. For instance: Attend a DC Ad Club event together and discuss afterward your experience. Or you might grab a quick bite, a cup of coffee, or attend a lecture—anything that will expand your career and enhance your professional development.
