The Annual Student Program and League Mentorship are initiatives that foster the development of aspiring architects, matching students with practicing architects and offering insight into the profession through studio visits and presentations.

The League Mentorship is an annual program organized by The Architectural League of New York in partnership with the New York City College of Technology (City Tech), the Spitzer School of Architecture at City College of New York (CCNY), and the Michael Graves College of Architecture & Design at Kean University.
