The Ad 2 Tampa Bay Mentorship Program helps students by providing them personal support to challenge them and help them grow professionally. We match each Ad 2 Tampa Bay student member with a young professional member in the same field. Participants in the program meet once a month to discuss career goals, review portfolios and give a real-life perspective on the industry.

The following specialty areas are currently being offered:

• Account management

• Media sales

• Graphic design or art direction

• Copy writing

• Public relations

• Audio/video production

• Social media

Students and young professionals must be current paid Ad 2 Tampa Bay members to participate. Students who are interested are asked to fill out the online application by clicking here. Young professionals who are interested in being mentors may register here.

The 2009-2010 Mentorship Program runs from October to April. Student applications are due no later than September 30, 2009. Young professional mentors are asked to register by October 9, 2009.

Student and professional members who apply to be a part of the Mentorship Program will be paired up according to their area of interest and area of expertise. The program will kick off with a Meet + Greet on October 12, 2009 during the networking time before AdTalks from 6p - 6:30p.
