Program Overview
A comprehensive and impactful mentorship program that connects AAD students with early-career professionals that have “walked in students’ shoes” and share similar backgrounds.
For mentees, there is a certain level of kinship and understanding inherent to receiving mentorship from early-career professionals that they can relate to. Mentees will gain valuable exposure to a variety of industries and the myriad of challenges and lessons associated with navigating a professional career. More importantly, mentees will receive invaluable insights into determining an actionable plan to achieve their career aspirations.
For mentors, it is both fulfilling and empowering to help their “kin” attain their dreams. Mentors become the older sibling/guiding voice they might’ve benefited from having in their lives during the early stages of their careers. Furthermore, mentors aim to help mentees realize and achieve their own interpretation of the Asian American dream, one that accounts for their lived experiences, future career aspirations, and Pan Asian American heritage
If you are a student seeking to receive mentorship networks or an early-career professional seeking to uplift the next generation of Pan Asian American leaders, then is the program for you!
This is a virtual, 1 mentor-2 mentee program (25 mentors-50 mentees) for a 3 month period/quarter.
