==== <big>Come on in: All about the "Living Library"</big> ====

==== <big>Who Are We?</big> ====

<big>The Mentoring Living Library is a grassroots initiative created by individuals from the NCRYPN and the Federal Youth Network, supported in partnership with GC Students, that provides young GofC professionals with the opportunity to informally connect with, and learn from, experienced employees.</big>

<big>The GC Mentorship Community on GCPedia is a grassroots initiative supported by the NCRYPN, the Federal Youth Network, and GC Students, that provides young GofC professionals and students with the opportunity to informally connect with, and learn from, experienced employees. This community consists of mentors, listed in the table below, who have graciously volunteered their time and stories to share with you, our interested mentees. The purpose of this initiative is to mirror the beauty of the "Living Library" trend, which aims to bring back the art of connecting with others by providing access to individuals who are willing to share their time, their energy, and their stories. By engaging with our Community, you are learning from the stories and experiences of a wide range of individuals in the Canadian public service.</big>

<big>This library is evergreen: 'Books' will continue to be added and removed over time.</big>   

<big>Please note that this initiative is evergreen. Mentors are welcome to join and withdraw from the community as needed, as are mentees</big><big>.</big>
