About the Marketing Mentorship Program
Applications for the Spring 2025 season of the Mentorship Program open on January 6 and close on February 7. Applications will reopen for the Fall 2025 season in August. If the program is full or the application deadline has passed, join the interest list to be notified via email as soon as applications are open again.
Join the interest list if the program is not currently open for applications.
Our mission is to develop lasting professional relationships, improve networking opportunities, and provide valuable career development for both mentees and mentors.
- The program runs twice a year—each spring and fall.
- Submit your application, and our committee will seek to find the best mentor/mentee match for you!
- We do our best to match up everyone who applies, but participation isn’t guaranteed. If you aren’t matched the first time, you’re still eligible to apply the next semester.
- Once you’re matched, it’s time to invest in your growth. Mentees pay a small participation fee to demonstrate your commitment and help ensure you make the most of this valuable opportunity. There is no fee for mentors.
- Student Members: $50
- Professional Members: $150
- Non-AMA Atlanta Members: $200
- Each semester lasts four months, giving you plenty of time to meet up and learn.
- We kickoff each season with an in-person event to help you connect and network!
Why Mentorship?
- Get connected to other Atlanta-area marketers
