Get coached by someone who sat in your seat
MentorLink pairs Brownsburg DECA members one-on-one with chapter alumni — role-play reps, written event feedback, ICDC prep, and real talk about college and careers.
Why a mentor
They’ve already run the event you’re prepping for
Your advisor is in your corner. Your mentor has been in the room — same categories, same conference levels, same nerves in the hallway beforehand.
Written event edits
Share your business plan, campaign, or research paper with an alum who wrote one that placed. Direct notes, no hurt feelings.
State & ICDC prep
Learn how they qualified, what judges actually reward, and how to hold it together when your section finally gets called.
College & career
From picking a major to landing a first internship — advice from Bulldogs who are a few years ahead of you, not a few decades.
Our chapter
This is who you’re joining
Brownsburg DECA isn’t a club you age out of. The people in this photo are the ones who ran the role-plays, wrote the plans, and stood at the podium — and MentorLink is how they stay in reach after they graduate.

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.

Alumni who remember exactly what this felt like
Real profiles get added here as Brownsburg alumni join. Until then, these cards show the format a listing will take.
These are example profiles, not real people. No student has been matched with anyone shown here.

Questions
Before you fill anything out
Is this actually free?
Yes. MentorLink is free for every current Brownsburg High School DECA member. Alumni volunteer their time — nobody gets paid, nothing gets charged, there’s no upsell later.
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?
It happens, especially early on. We’ll tell you straight instead of leaving you waiting, then 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. Anything a student, parent, or advisor wants to ask can go to [your-email@example.com].
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. Students under 18 should let a parent or guardian know before setting up a first meeting.
