Ascend LA Metro Chapter Mentorship Program
We are thrilled to announce the launch of our very first Mentorship Program, an exclusive benefit for active members of the Ascend Los Angeles Metro Chapter! This is an incredible opportunity for both mentees and mentors to embark on a four-month journey of growth, learning, and connection.
​
By investing in API professionals and your own careers, we invest in our community’s future. Embrace this opportunity to learn, grow, and connect from both sides - strengthening your leadership skills or targeting the challenges you’ve been facing.

Fees
Exclusive to the Ascend LA Metro chapter, for our active members we are waiving fees - normally $75 to cover overhead costs like food and venue. For non-members, the Mentorship Program will have a $75 fee, but also includes complimentary access to our first PDLP event this year.
Participants who serve as mentors, regardless of membership status, will have fees waived.
