{{DISPLAYTITLE:GC Mentorship Community}}
== Welcome to the GC Mentorship Community / Bienvenue! ==

==== <big>Who Are We?</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>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>
 
 
==== <big>How It Works:</big> ====
<big>Below, you will find all of the mentors participating in this initiative, along with their relevant details. Mentees - please feel free to scan our list of mentors below. When you find one who speaks to your interests and goals, click on their contact information and send them an email to schedule a one-on-one chat. The suggested amount of time for a chat is 30 minutes. Please be respectful of your mentors - they are volunteers, after all!</big>
 
 
====<big>Want To Get Involved?</big> ====

The Anti-Racism Ambassadors Network
|thumb]]

== '''The Anti-Racism Ambassadors Network''' ==
The Anti-Racism Ambassadors Network (the Network) was established to support existing efforts in the public service to '''dismantle systemic racism with an intersectional lens'''. The Network aims to create a space for public servants in Canada at the municipal, provincial, territorial and federal level, to share knowledge, spread information and take action.

ARAN is a grass-roots group of public servants volunteering from across Canada and not tied to any Government organization. Currently the Network acts as a community mobilizer and connector to collect, amplify, house and disseminate information and resources on Anti-Racism activity for all to use. In doing so, it will also amplify the work being done by BIPOC colleagues and connect all people working in this space.

It will also serve as a network to encourage and support members in taking practical action to dismantle systemic racism. We recognize that this is a community effort and it will take collective partnerships and action to affect change. This includes but is not limited to the work of existing networks like the Black Employees Network(s), Indigenous Employee Network(s), Visible Minorities Network(s), Federal Black Employees Caucus (FBEC), 2SLGBTQIA+/Pride networks and other similar communities as well as resources from organizations and departments standing up their own Anti-Racism units.

As this Network grows, it aims to help bridge and identify gaps in the area of Anti-Racism across public service organizations in Canada where feasible.

To stay connected to information and resources by subscribing to our distribution list, please click '''[Https://gmail.us17.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=047e72e0ac9534f0e7347760d&id=b073304c40 Here]'''
== '''Current Work in Progress''' ==
* Developing an online site to house information and resources provided by Network members and all communities in this space.

* Developing a draft mandate/core principles for the Network and its longevity.

* Drafting a glossary of key terms used in this space for common understanding.

* Connecting with horizontal networks and communities across departments to build an inter-organizational group for monthly check-ins and knowledge exchange.

* Sharing information about events or resources to the slowly growing Network

== '''How Can I Get Involved''' ==
There a'''r'''e a number of ways to get involved and thank you to everyone who has already indicated how they can participate and support the growth of the Network.
* Represent your organization - f you are already part of a network working in this space, consider representing your group at inter-departmental/inter-organizational check-ins and stay tuned into what others are doing and help minimize operating in silos.

* Share resources - if you have relevant educational information, templates, resources, events to promote or other informational/material of value, please share it with the Network.

* Offer Your Subject Matter Expertise (SME)* - We were so excited to see a large number of you with expertise in a range of topics. As activity in this space continues to grow across departments, there will be a need for SMEs, as speakers or facilitators to support events. Consider offering to be contacted and included on our list of SMEs for folks and the Network to reach out to you.

* Volunteer - As activity in this space increases, volunteers may be needed across various events. By being on our volunteer list, you will receive information about call-outs for volunteer support at these activities where you can consider offering your time. Thank you to everyone who has already signed up to be contacted for this.
* Slack: '''aran-pubicservants.slack.com''' If you are doing active work in this space, consider joining the Slack workspace to connect with others for knowledge exchange, access resources and information about events, and keep the dialogue going. Since the link to join is only active for a limited amount of time, please contact us to add you to the workspace.

Thank you for your passion and commitment to supporting this important work. We look forward to working with you and growing together.

|Centre on Diversity and Inclusion (CDI) :
|At the Centre on Diversity and Inclusion, we want to build a truly diverse and inclusive public service with empathy and co-development at the heart of our work.

We are excited to lead and work with others on cross-departmental initiatives to make the most significant impact across the federal public service.

The Indigenous Learning Series
|The Indigenous Learning Series aims to build understanding of Canada’s shared history and how it impacts us today.

As Indigenous employees, we are largely aware of our own cultures and histories. But it is sometimes interesting to browse through content to see what it includes and whether it represents your experience accurately and respectfully. The Indigenous Learning Series is a way for Indigenous employees to learn about other Indigenous groups that they may not identify with or would simply like to know more about.

|Black Employees Network
|The Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat (TBS) Black Employees Network (the BEN) was launched in June 2020 to provide a safe space to discuss barriers faced by Black employees within TBS and the Government of Canada. It is also a safe space to have real conversations about inclusion, anti‑black racism and discrimination. The BEN provides a unique opportunity to be part of a forum to reflect upon the reality of racism and discrimination in the workplace.

== '''Who Are We?''' ==
The Network itself is the collective group of folks who wish to be involved and engaged in dismantling systemic racism across the public service in Canada, this includes you.

The team below are the folks who have been coordinating ARAN to date outside of their working hours. We are not experts in Anti-Racism, but rather a group of motivated public servants looking to identify and fill a gap. At this time, we are working to set up the Network and lay the foundation.

Aalya.dhananiessa: /* Réseau de l'apprentissage Informel */

== Informal Learning Network ==

There are numerous public servants who have a career’s worth of knowledge, dedication and experience. This represents a tremendous amount of skills and abilities that can be tapped into through the Informal Learning Network.

This is a centralized page where employees of any department and level can register to act as collaborators, mentors and/ or guest speakers. Employees are encouraged to indicate their name, current title, location and whether or not they have access to a Web Ex account. They may then add their areas of proficiency and personal email addresses.

Employees, leaders, communities of practice and members of working groups or teams can then use this database to contact interested public servants for mentorship opportunities, collaboration on projects or for WebExes or teleconferences to further enlighten themselves or their colleagues. This should aid in breaking down silos, building networks, increasing collaboration and spreading best practices within the public service.

Below is a list of employees who are willing to engage with their colleagues across Canada. Please feel free to edit the table below and add your information!

See also the Federal Speakers Bureau on Mental Health

Further discussion, resources, links and presentations can be found on our GCConnex group.[1]

== Réseau de l'apprentissage Informel ==

Il y a une multitude de fonctionnaires qui comptent à leur actif des années d’expérience, de savoir accumulé et de dévouement. Ceci représente une source gigantesque de compétences et habiletés dans laquelle il est possible de puiser grâce au Réseau de l’apprentissage informel.

Il s’agit d’une page centralisée à laquelle les employés provenant de tous les niveaux et ministères peuvent s’inscrire en tant que collaborateurs, mentors ou conférenciers. Tous sont encouragés à indiquer leur nom, leur fonction actuelle, leur emplacement et s’ils ont accès à un compte WebEx. Ils sont ensuite invités à ajouter leurs champs de compétences ainsi que leur adresse courriel personnelle s’ils le désirent.

Employés, leaders, communautés de pratiqueet membres de groupes de travail peuvent se servir de cette base de données pour entrer en communication avec les fonctionnaires participants. Ils auront ainsi la possibilité de créer des opportunités de mentorat, de collaborer à desprojets, ou d’organiser des téléconférences WebEx dans le but d’accroître leurs connaissances ou celles de leurs collègues.

Ceci devrait contribuer à briser les silos, créer des réseaux et favoriser la collaboration et le partage des meilleures pratiques au sein de la fonction publique. Vous trouverez ci-dessous une liste avec le nom des personnes qui souhaitent se rendre disponibles pour leurs collègues de partout au Canada. N’hésitez pas à modifier le tableau ci-dessous pour y inclure vos coordonnées!
