I live in a town where business administration is in high demand and my background is in that field out of necessity. I am a creative person so it's killing me. How do I change the employment agencies mindset to see me in the latter light?

I'd suggest changing your expectations regarding employment agencies. It's in their nature, and best financial interest, to pair the most qualified candidates with the jobs they have in their listings.

I am 26 and work with many people more experienced than me. I’d like to be the reverse mentor of 2 directors at my company, and they’ve agreed. What’s the next step? How do I create goals and deliverables? What can I mentor them on besides Technology?

I'd suggest educating them on the perspective of younger workers. Often times bridging generational gaps can be harder from the older to the younger crowd. Giving them some insight into your perspective and those of your peers can be very valuable.
