MentorLink pairs Brownsburg DECA members one-on-one with chapter alumni — role-play reps, written event feedback, and competition prep.
Our chapter
Build a lasting connection
Your connection to Brownsburg DECA lasts well beyond high school. The individuals pictured here once competed in the same events you are in now.
Through MentorLink, their experience and mentorship remain accessible to you.
Why a mentor
They’ve already competed in the event you’re prepping for
Your mentor has been right where you are—navigating the exact same categories and competing on the same stages.
Written event edits
Share your business plan, campaign, or research paper with an alum who wrote one that placed.
State & ICDC prep
Learn how they qualified, what judges actually reward, and how to present yourself professionally.
How it works
Four steps to your first session
We’re starting small on purpose. Every request gets read by a person, and every pairing is made by hand.
You tell us the goal
Your grad year, your event, and what you’re stuck on — a role-play close, a written entry, a state bid.
Alumni sign up
Brownsburg grads share their year, their field, and what they can coach. Most of them credit DECA for where they landed.
We match by hand
The MentorLink team pairs you with an alum who fits your event and your goals. A real person makes the call.
You meet one-on-one
Video call, email, whatever works. One honest conversation can change how a whole season goes.
Meet the mentors
Alumni who remember exactly what this felt like
Every mentor here competed for Brownsburg DECA. When you send a request, we look for someone who ran your event — not just someone who was good at DECA generally.
No alumni profiles are listed here yet — MentorLink is new this season. That doesn’t stop you: requests are open now and every match is made by hand, so put your event in and we’ll go find an alum who competed in it.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
How do I connect with my Mentor/student
When a Student and Mentor are matched, a thread is created via email with both participants and our chapter advisor, with an introduction that is sent to them. From there, it is recommended that the Mentor and Student schedule a Zoom call to meet through the email thread.
How long does matching take?
Because matches are made by hand, expect a reply within about a week. If your event is one where several alumni have signed up, it’s usually faster. Either way you’ll hear from us — including if we can’t find a fit yet.
What if no mentor covers my event?
We will do one of two things: pair you with an alum from a closely related event who can still help with the fundamentals, or hold your request and reach out the moment a match shows up.
Who runs MentorLink?
MentorLink is a student-led project inside the Brownsburg High School DECA chapter, with support from our chapter advisor. Any student or parent with a question can contact [email protected].
I’m an alum — how much time is this?
As much or as little as you have. No minimum commitment, no fixed schedule. Some mentors do one role-play call before a conference; others check in across a whole season. You and your student set the pace.
What happens to the info I submit?
We use it only to make your match. Your email isn’t shared publicly, sold, or added to a mailing list.
