INTRODUCING

The Fostership

For years, United Adworkers has connected creatives throughout Wisconsin. Now, we’re relaunching a fully reimagined mentorship program built for today’s students and professionals.

​

The Fostership is a year-long mentorship experience pairing students with professionals in creative and advertising-related roles—from agencies, studios, and freelance practices. This is a flexible, low-pressure way to create meaningful industry connections and help students explore creative career paths with real-world insight.

Who should apply?

MENTORS

​

  • Art Direction

  • Project Management

  • Brand Strategy

  • Media Buying or Planning

  • Production (Photo, Video, Audio)

  • Want to build confidence, gain portfolio feedback, or explore what agency or freelance life looks like
