Mentorship Program Applications Open Now!

We are now accepting applications through Monday, April 23, 2018, from both mentors and mentees for its 2018 mentorship program!  The mentorship program is open to all DOJ employees and alumni.  We have already begun to receive interest from a diverse group people and hope that we will be able to provide mentorship opportunities to a wide variety of individuals across fields of practice and located throughout the country.

We view the mentorship program as an important means of actively promoting diversity in the federal government by providing professional development opportunities to Hispanics in DOJ – and we hope and expect that it will be a personally and professionally rewarding experience for our mentors and mentees alike.  The program is mentee-driven, meaning mentees are responsible for reaching out to mentors, getting on their calendars, and making sure they get the most out of this program.  Mentees will learn how to define career goals, strategize, and identify options.  Additionally, mentors and mentees will enhance their knowledge of the Department and grow professionally and personally. 

To learn more, join us for a kick-off happy hour Thursday, April 19, at Flight (777 6th St NW) at 5:30pm.  Mentors and mentees from past years will be there to share their experiences.  Or contact contact Jennifer Mondino, DOJ AHEAD’s Director of Professional Development, at 202-305-3176 or at dojahead@gmail.com (mention “Mentorship” in the subject line). 

To participate as either a mentor or a mentee, please take 4 minutes to fill out this application form.

We look forward to another great year of the DOJ-AHEAD Mentorship Program!
