Welcome to the AFDW University!

At Air Force District of Washington, we recognize that fostering a learning culture and developing employees is a competitive advantage and is imperative to fostering a diverse workforce. Through a comprehensive mentoring, a personal development program, and policies that advance these efforts, we can achieve that diverse workforce. 

Having a mentor to share experiences with and guide a mentee can help Airmen, from officers and enlisted to our civilian team members, discover their strengths, but also help them makes strides towards achieving their full potential both inside and outside the Air Force. 

Through the telling of first-person experiences, we share the impact of mentoring -- on both mentors and mentees. Here you will find:

 - Personal takes on mentorship and personal growth from Airmen around the command, representative of different stages of an Air Force career. 

 - Information and access to resources to enable your own growth within' the AFDW University. 

"Seek out multiple mentors and in turn look for people who can benefit from the knowledge you’ve gained in your life and career—pay it forward.  Mentorship is enduring.  It should be a personal, career-long commitment to supporting a person’s growth and development.  Honoring that commitment requires significant effort and is the responsibility of both parties.  Coordinating, developing, and executing meaningful engagements, for personal and professional growth, is a shared responsibility."
