Want a mentor? Be a mentor!

The National Press Club mentoring program is now accepting applications for both mentees and mentors.

Open to both journalists and communicators, the program is intended to create the kind of inter-generational connections that were always a benefit of belonging to the club, but are increasingly difficult to establish in the 24/7 news cycle of today.

If you’re on the threshold of your career, or if you’re a seasoned Washington hand who’d welcome a chance to give back to the profession, learn more and sign up by October 15 at the new Mentoring Program page on the NPC website.

A task force of members from the Professional Development, Young Members and Membership committees will attempt to make matches by November 1. This is a free benefit of NPC membership, so only members may apply.
