==What is Mentoring? ==
<big>Mentoring is the practice of advising or guiding someone on their professional journey. This can be done traditionally by a leader or expert in a specific field. Reverse mentoring is also a valuable approach to mentoring. Reverse mentoring is an employee newer to the workforce teaching a more experienced/senior professional or leader topics such as new technology, software, social media and current trends.</big>

<big>Why is mentoring important for young professionals in a virtual environment?</big>
#<big>Overall, professional needs and the world of work is changing.</big>
#<big>They want access to a more flexible form of mentoring.</big>
#<big>Traditional mentoring has its limits.</big>
#<big>Professionals don’t always have the time and patience to deal with coordinated matches and training sessions.</big>
#<big>More and more, organizations are looking for secure digital solutions to support individuals in their professional integration.</big>

== What is GCMentorGC?: ==

<big>The “GCMentorGC” Interdepartmental Mentorship Community of Practice is under the Federal Youth Network (FYN) and is a place for individuals to connect with others working on mentoring files to collaborate and share effective practices and common issues with mentoring programming across the GC (Informal vs formal mentorship programs and/or departmental vs interdepartmental).</big>

<big>We chair monthly meetings for those working on mentoring files and support the creation and collaboration of baseline materials and templates. We manage the GCMentorGC group, Living Library page, EE Informal Networking and Mentorship Platform, and the FB unofficial/informal mentoring group, with the intent of facilitating cross-GC mentoring, amplifying initiatives, and offering a space for people to crowd-source mentoring requests and questions in an open and transparent space. We help employees find and navigate the programs and resources that they have access to and can benefit from.</big>

|-
|- style="color: black;background-color:#FFFFFF;"
| style="padding:10px" |<big>The GC Mentorship Community on GCwiki 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.
 
Please note that this initiative is evergreen. Mentors are welcome to join and withdraw from the community as needed, as are mentees
</big>
| style="padding:10px" |<big>La communauté de mentorat du GC sur le GCwiki est une initiative populaire soutenue par le RJPRCN, le Réseau des jeunes fonctionnaires fédéraux (RJFF) et les Étudiants GC, qui offre aux jeunes professionnels et étudiants du GC la possibilité d'entrer en contact de manière informelle avec des employés expérimentés et d'apprendre d'eux. Cette communauté se compose de mentors, énumérés dans le tableau ci-dessous, qui ont gracieusement offert leur temps et leurs histoires pour les partager avec vous, nos mentorés intéressés. Le but de cette initiative est de refléter la beauté de la tendance de la « Bibliothèque vivante », qui vise à ramener l'art de se connecter avec les autres en donnant accès à des personnes qui sont prêtes à partager leur temps, leur énergie et leurs histoires. En vous engageant dans notre communauté, vous découvrez les histoires et les expériences d'un large éventail de personnes travaillant dans la fonction publique canadienne.
 
Veuillez noter que cette initiative est évolutive. Les mentors sont invités à rejoindre et à se retirer de la communauté selon les besoins, tout comme les mentorés.</big>

I’ve received awards for excellence in people management and have led initiatives that positively impacted staff engagement and morale. My expertise also includes policy innovation, stakeholder engagement, and building partnerships across government sectors. I’m passionate about empowering future leaders, supporting underrepresented groups, fostering inclusive workplaces, guiding career transitions, and promoting resilience in high-stress roles. I can offer insights on navigating leadership in federal institutions, leading through uncertainty, building inclusive teams, transitioning from military to civilian roles, and driving operational excellence.

|-
|- style="color: black;background-color:#FFFFFF;"
| style="padding:10px" |<big>The GC Mentorship Community on GCwiki 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.
 
Please note that this initiative is evergreen. Mentors are welcome to join and withdraw from the community as needed, as are mentees
</big>
| style="padding:10px" |<big>La communauté de mentorat du GC sur le GCwiki est une initiative populaire soutenue par le RJPRCN, le Réseau des jeunes fonctionnaires fédéraux (RJFF) et les Étudiants GC, qui offre aux jeunes professionnels et étudiants du GC la possibilité d'entrer en contact de manière informelle avec des employés expérimentés et d'apprendre d'eux. Cette communauté se compose de mentors, énumérés dans le tableau ci-dessous, qui ont gracieusement offert leur temps et leurs histoires pour les partager avec vous, nos mentorés intéressés. Le but de cette initiative est de refléter la beauté de la tendance de la « Bibliothèque vivante », qui vise à ramener l'art de se connecter avec les autres en donnant accès à des personnes qui sont prêtes à partager leur temps, leur énergie et leurs histoires. En vous engageant dans notre communauté, vous découvrez les histoires et les expériences d'un large éventail de personnes travaillant dans la fonction publique canadienne.
 
Veuillez noter que cette initiative est évolutive. Les mentors sont invités à rejoindre et à se retirer de la communauté selon les besoins, tout comme les mentorés.</big>

I am a national champion for the 2SLGBTQIA+ community and an Official Languages Champion, recognized for advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion. My background includes decorated military service with international deployments, deep knowledge of public service values, and a commitment to ethical leadership. I’ve received awards for excellence in people management and have led initiatives that positively impacted staff engagement and morale. My expertise also includes policy innovation, stakeholder engagement, and building partnerships across government sectors. I’m passionate about empowering future leaders, supporting underrepresented groups, fostering inclusive workplaces, guiding career transitions, and promoting resilience in high-stress roles. I can offer insights on navigating leadership in federal institutions, leading through uncertainty, building inclusive teams, transitioning from military to civilian roles, and driving operational excellence.

|-
|- style="color: black;background-color:#FFFFFF;"
| style="padding:10px" |<big>The GC Mentorship Community on GCwiki 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.
 
Please note that this initiative is evergreen. Mentors are welcome to join and withdraw from the community as needed, as are mentees
</big>
| style="padding:10px" |<big>La communauté de mentorat du GC sur le GCwiki est une initiative populaire soutenue par le RJPRCN, le Réseau des jeunes fonctionnaires fédéraux (RJFF) et les Étudiants GC, qui offre aux jeunes professionnels et étudiants du GC la possibilité d'entrer en contact de manière informelle avec des employés expérimentés et d'apprendre d'eux. Cette communauté se compose de mentors, énumérés dans le tableau ci-dessous, qui ont gracieusement offert leur temps et leurs histoires pour les partager avec vous, nos mentorés intéressés. Le but de cette initiative est de refléter la beauté de la tendance de la « Bibliothèque vivante », qui vise à ramener l'art de se connecter avec les autres en donnant accès à des personnes qui sont prêtes à partager leur temps, leur énergie et leurs histoires. En vous engageant dans notre communauté, vous découvrez les histoires et les expériences d'un large éventail de personnes travaillant dans la fonction publique canadienne.
 
Veuillez noter que cette initiative est évolutive. Les mentors sont invités à rejoindre et à se retirer de la communauté selon les besoins, tout comme les mentorés.</big>

My background includes decorated military service with international deployments, deep knowledge of public service values, and a commitment to ethical leadership. I’ve received awards for excellence in people management and have led initiatives that positively impacted staff engagement and morale. My expertise also includes policy innovation, stakeholder engagement, and building partnerships across government sectors. I’m passionate about empowering future leaders, supporting underrepresented groups, fostering inclusive workplaces, guiding career transitions, and promoting resilience in high-stress roles. I can offer insights on navigating leadership in federal institutions, leading through uncertainty, building inclusive teams, transitioning from military to civilian roles, and driving operational excellence.

|-
|- style="color: black;background-color:#FFFFFF;"
| style="padding:10px" |<big>The GC Mentorship Community on GCwiki 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.
 
Please note that this initiative is evergreen. Mentors are welcome to join and withdraw from the community as needed, as are mentees
</big>
| style="padding:10px" |<big>La communauté de mentorat du GC sur le GCwiki est une initiative populaire soutenue par le RJPRCN, le Réseau des jeunes fonctionnaires fédéraux (RJFF) et les Étudiants GC, qui offre aux jeunes professionnels et étudiants du GC la possibilité d'entrer en contact de manière informelle avec des employés expérimentés et d'apprendre d'eux. Cette communauté se compose de mentors, énumérés dans le tableau ci-dessous, qui ont gracieusement offert leur temps et leurs histoires pour les partager avec vous, nos mentorés intéressés. Le but de cette initiative est de refléter la beauté de la tendance de la « Bibliothèque vivante », qui vise à ramener l'art de se connecter avec les autres en donnant accès à des personnes qui sont prêtes à partager leur temps, leur énergie et leurs histoires. En vous engageant dans notre communauté, vous découvrez les histoires et les expériences d'un large éventail de personnes travaillant dans la fonction publique canadienne.
 
Veuillez noter que cette initiative est évolutive. Les mentors sont invités à rejoindre et à se retirer de la communauté selon les besoins, tout comme les mentorés.</big>

|- style="color: black;background-color:#FFFFFF;"
| style="padding:10px" |<big>The GC Mentorship Community on GCwiki 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.
 
Please note that this initiative is evergreen. Mentors are welcome to join and withdraw from the community as needed, as are mentees
</big>
| style="padding:10px" |<big>La communauté de mentorat du GC sur le GCwiki est une initiative populaire soutenue par le RJPRCN, le Réseau des jeunes fonctionnaires fédéraux (RJFF) et les Étudiants GC, qui offre aux jeunes professionnels et étudiants du GC la possibilité d'entrer en contact de manière informelle avec des employés expérimentés et d'apprendre d'eux. Cette communauté se compose de mentors, énumérés dans le tableau ci-dessous, qui ont gracieusement offert leur temps et leurs histoires pour les partager avec vous, nos mentorés intéressés. Le but de cette initiative est de refléter la beauté de la tendance de la « Bibliothèque vivante », qui vise à ramener l'art de se connecter avec les autres en donnant accès à des personnes qui sont prêtes à partager leur temps, leur énergie et leurs histoires. En vous engageant dans notre communauté, vous découvrez les histoires et les expériences d'un large éventail de personnes travaillant dans la fonction publique canadienne.
 
Veuillez noter que cette initiative est évolutive. Les mentors sont invités à rejoindre et à se retirer de la communauté selon les besoins, tout comme les mentorés.</big>

|-
|- style="color: black;background-color:#FFFFFF;"
| style="padding:10px" |<big>The GC Mentorship Community on GCwiki 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.
 
Please note that this initiative is evergreen. Mentors are welcome to join and withdraw from the community as needed, as are mentees
</big>
| style="padding:10px" |<big>La communauté de mentorat du GC sur le GCwiki est une initiative populaire soutenue par le RJPRCN, le Réseau des jeunes fonctionnaires fédéraux (RJFF) et les Étudiants GC, qui offre aux jeunes professionnels et étudiants du GC la possibilité d'entrer en contact de manière informelle avec des employés expérimentés et d'apprendre d'eux. Cette communauté se compose de mentors, énumérés dans le tableau ci-dessous, qui ont gracieusement offert leur temps et leurs histoires pour les partager avec vous, nos mentorés intéressés. Le but de cette initiative est de refléter la beauté de la tendance de la « Bibliothèque vivante », qui vise à ramener l'art de se connecter avec les autres en donnant accès à des personnes qui sont prêtes à partager leur temps, leur énergie et leurs histoires. En vous engageant dans notre communauté, vous découvrez les histoires et les expériences d'un large éventail de personnes travaillant dans la fonction publique canadienne.
 
Veuillez noter que cette initiative est évolutive. Les mentors sont invités à rejoindre et à se retirer de la communauté selon les besoins, tout comme les mentorés.</big>

|-
|- style="color: black;background-color:#FFFFFF;"
| style="padding:10px" |<big>The GC Mentorship Community on GCwiki 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.
 
Please note that this initiative is evergreen. Mentors are welcome to join and withdraw from the community as needed, as are mentees
</big>
| style="padding:10px" |<big>La communauté de mentorat du GC sur le GCwiki est une initiative populaire soutenue par le RJPRCN, le Réseau des jeunes fonctionnaires fédéraux (RJFF) et les Étudiants GC, qui offre aux jeunes professionnels et étudiants du GC la possibilité d'entrer en contact de manière informelle avec des employés expérimentés et d'apprendre d'eux. Cette communauté se compose de mentors, énumérés dans le tableau ci-dessous, qui ont gracieusement offert leur temps et leurs histoires pour les partager avec vous, nos mentorés intéressés. Le but de cette initiative est de refléter la beauté de la tendance de la « Bibliothèque vivante », qui vise à ramener l'art de se connecter avec les autres en donnant accès à des personnes qui sont prêtes à partager leur temps, leur énergie et leurs histoires. En vous engageant dans notre communauté, vous découvrez les histoires et les expériences d'un large éventail de personnes travaillant dans la fonction publique canadienne.
 
Veuillez noter que cette initiative est évolutive. Les mentors sont invités à rejoindre et à se retirer de la communauté selon les besoins, tout comme les mentorés.</big>

!'''<big>Qui sommes-nous?</big>'''
|-
|- style="color: black;background-color:#FFFFFF;"
| style="padding:10px" |<big>The GC Mentorship Community on GCwiki 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.
 
Please note that this initiative is evergreen. Mentors are welcome to join and withdraw from the community as needed, as are mentees
</big>
| style="padding:10px" |<big>La communauté de mentorat du GC sur le GCwiki est une initiative populaire soutenue par le RJPRCN, le Réseau des jeunes fonctionnaires fédéraux (RJFF) et les Étudiants GC, qui offre aux jeunes professionnels et étudiants du GC la possibilité d'entrer en contact de manière informelle avec des employés expérimentés et d'apprendre d'eux. Cette communauté se compose de mentors, énumérés dans le tableau ci-dessous, qui ont gracieusement offert leur temps et leurs histoires pour les partager avec vous, nos mentorés intéressés. Le but de cette initiative est de refléter la beauté de la tendance de la « Bibliothèque vivante », qui vise à ramener l'art de se connecter avec les autres en donnant accès à des personnes qui sont prêtes à partager leur temps, leur énergie et leurs histoires. En vous engageant dans notre communauté, vous découvrez les histoires et les expériences d'un large éventail de personnes travaillant dans la fonction publique canadienne.
 
Veuillez noter que cette initiative est évolutive. Les mentors sont invités à rejoindre et à se retirer de la communauté selon les besoins, tout comme les mentorés.</big>

|-
|- style="color: black;background-color:#FFFFFF;"
| style="padding:10px" |<big>The GC Mentorship Community on GCwiki 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.
 
Please note that this initiative is evergreen. Mentors are welcome to join and withdraw from the community as needed, as are mentees
</big>
| style="padding:10px" |<big>La communauté de mentorat du GC sur le GCwiki est une initiative populaire soutenue par le RJPRCN, le Réseau des jeunes fonctionnaires fédéraux (RJFF) et les Étudiants GC, qui offre aux jeunes professionnels et étudiants du GC la possibilité d'entrer en contact de manière informelle avec des employés expérimentés et d'apprendre d'eux. Cette communauté se compose de mentors, énumérés dans le tableau ci-dessous, qui ont gracieusement offert leur temps et leurs histoires pour les partager avec vous, nos mentorés intéressés. Le but de cette initiative est de refléter la beauté de la tendance de la « Bibliothèque vivante », qui vise à ramener l'art de se connecter avec les autres en donnant accès à des personnes qui sont prêtes à partager leur temps, leur énergie et leurs histoires. En vous engageant dans notre communauté, vous découvrez les histoires et les expériences d'un large éventail de personnes travaillant dans la fonction publique canadienne.
 
Veuillez noter que cette initiative est évolutive. Les mentors sont invités à rejoindre et à se retirer de la communauté selon les besoins, tout comme les mentorés.</big>

|- style="color: black;background-color:#FFFFFF;"
| style="padding:10px" |<big>The GC Mentorship Community on GCwiki 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.
 
Please note that this initiative is evergreen. Mentors are welcome to join and withdraw from the community as needed, as are mentees
</big>
| style="padding:10px" |<big>La communauté de mentorat du GC sur le GCwiki est une initiative populaire soutenue par le RJPRCN, le Réseau des jeunes fonctionnaires fédéraux (RJFF) et les Étudiants GC, qui offre aux jeunes professionnels et étudiants du GC la possibilité d'entrer en contact de manière informelle avec des employés expérimentés et d'apprendre d'eux. Cette communauté se compose de mentors, énumérés dans le tableau ci-dessous, qui ont gracieusement offert leur temps et leurs histoires pour les partager avec vous, nos mentorés intéressés. Le but de cette initiative est de refléter la beauté de la tendance de la « Bibliothèque vivante », qui vise à ramener l'art de se connecter avec les autres en donnant accès à des personnes qui sont prêtes à partager leur temps, leur énergie et leurs histoires. En vous engageant dans notre communauté, vous découvrez les histoires et les expériences d'un large éventail de personnes travaillant dans la fonction publique canadienne.
 
Veuillez noter que cette initiative est évolutive. Les mentors sont invités à rejoindre et à se retirer de la communauté selon les besoins, tout comme les mentorés.</big>

|-
|- style="color: black;background-color:#FFFFFF;"
| style="padding:10px" |<big>The GC Mentorship Community on GCwiki 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.
 
Please note that this initiative is evergreen. Mentors are welcome to join and withdraw from the community as needed, as are mentees
</big>
| style="padding:10px" |<big>La communauté de mentorat du GC sur le GCwiki est une initiative populaire soutenue par le RJPRCN, le Réseau des jeunes fonctionnaires fédéraux (RJFF) et les Étudiants GC, qui offre aux jeunes professionnels et étudiants du GC la possibilité d'entrer en contact de manière informelle avec des employés expérimentés et d'apprendre d'eux. Cette communauté se compose de mentors, énumérés dans le tableau ci-dessous, qui ont gracieusement offert leur temps et leurs histoires pour les partager avec vous, nos mentorés intéressés. Le but de cette initiative est de refléter la beauté de la tendance de la « Bibliothèque vivante », qui vise à ramener l'art de se connecter avec les autres en donnant accès à des personnes qui sont prêtes à partager leur temps, leur énergie et leurs histoires. En vous engageant dans notre communauté, vous découvrez les histoires et les expériences d'un large éventail de personnes travaillant dans la fonction publique canadienne.
 
Veuillez noter que cette initiative est évolutive. Les mentors sont invités à rejoindre et à se retirer de la communauté selon les besoins, tout comme les mentorés.</big>

==What is Mentoring? ==
<big>Mentoring is the practice of advising or guiding someone on their professional journey. This can be done traditionally by a leader or expert in a specific field. Reverse mentoring is also a valuable approach to mentoring. Reverse mentoring is an employee newer to the workforce teaching a more experienced/senior professional or leader topics such as new technology, software, social media and current trends.</big>

<big>Why is mentoring important for young professionals in a virtual environment?</big>
#<big>Overall, professional needs and the world of work is changing.</big>
#<big>They want access to a more flexible form of mentoring.</big>
#<big>Traditional mentoring has its limits.</big>
#<big>Professionals don’t always have the time and patience to deal with coordinated matches and training sessions.</big>
#<big>More and more, organizations are looking for secure digital solutions to support individuals in their professional integration.</big>

== What is GCMentorGC?: ==

<big>The “GCMentorGC” Interdepartmental Mentorship Community of Practice is under the Federal Youth Network (FYN) and is a place for individuals to connect with others working on mentoring files to collaborate and share effective practices and common issues with mentoring programming across the GC (Informal vs formal mentorship programs and/or departmental vs interdepartmental).</big>

<big>We chair monthly meetings for those working on mentoring files and support the creation and collaboration of baseline materials and templates. We manage the GCMentorGC group, Living Library page, EE Informal Networking and Mentorship Platform, and the FB unofficial/informal mentoring group, with the intent of facilitating cross-GC mentoring, amplifying initiatives, and offering a space for people to crowd-source mentoring requests and questions in an open and transparent space. We help employees find and navigate the programs and resources that they have access to and can benefit from.</big>

== Qu’est-ce que le mentorat? ==
<big>Le mentorat est la pratique consistant à conseiller ou à guider une personne dans son parcours professionnel. Cela peut être fait de manière traditionnelle par un leader ou un expert dans un domaine spécifique. Le mentorat inversé est également une approche intéressante du mentorat. Le mentorat inversé consiste à ce qu'un employé plus récent enseigne à un professionnel ou à un dirigeant plus expérimenté/supérieur des sujets tels que les nouvelles technologies, les logiciels, les médias sociaux et les tendances actuelles.</big>

<big>Pourquoi le mentorat est-il important pour les jeunes professionnels dans un environnement virtuel ? </big>
# <big>Globalement, les besoins des professionnels évoluent et le monde du travail évolue.</big>
# <big>Ils veulent avoir accès à une forme plus flexible de mentorat.</big>
# <big>Le mentorat traditionnel a ses limites.</big>
# <big>Les professionnels n'ont pas toujours le temps et la patience de s'occuper de matches coordonnés et de séances de formation.</big>
# <big>De plus en plus, les organisations recherchent des solutions numériques sécurisées pour soutenir les individus dans leur intégration professionnelle.</big>

== Qu'est-ce que GCMentorGC? ==
<big>La communauté de pratique interministérielle de mentorat « GCMentorGC » relève du RJFF et c'est un lieu où les individus peuvent se connecter avec d'autres personnes travaillant sur des dossiers de mentorat pour collaborer et partager des pratiques efficaces et des problèmes communs avec les programmes de mentorat à travers le GC (programmes de mentorat informels ou formels et/ou départementaux ou interministériels).</big>

<big>Nous présidons des réunions mensuelles pour les personnes travaillant sur des dossiers de mentorat et nous soutenons la création et la collaboration de documents de référence et de modèles. Nous gérons le groupe GCMentorGC, la page de la bibliothèque vivante, la plateforme informelle de réseautage et de mentorat de l'EE et le groupe de mentorat non officiel/informel de Facebook, dans le but de faciliter le mentorat inter-CG, d'amplifier les initiatives et d'offrir un espace où les gens peuvent faire remonter les demandes et les questions relatives au mentorat dans un espace ouvert et transparent.</big>

==What is Mentoring? ==
<big>Mentoring is the practice of advising or guiding someone on their professional journey. This can be done traditionally by a leader or expert in a specific field. Reverse mentoring is also a valuable approach to mentoring. Reverse mentoring is an employee newer to the workforce teaching a more experienced/senior professional or leader topics such as new technology, software, social media and current trends.</big>

<big>Why is mentoring important for young professionals in a virtual environment?</big>
#<big>Overall, professional needs and the world of work is changing.</big>
#<big>They want access to a more flexible form of mentoring.</big>
#<big>Traditional mentoring has its limits.</big>
#<big>Professionals don’t always have the time and patience to deal with coordinated matches and training sessions.</big>
#<big>More and more, organizations are looking for secure digital solutions to support individuals in their professional integration.</big>

== What is GCMentorGC?: ==

<big>The “GCMentorGC” Interdepartmental Mentorship Community of Practice is under the Federal Youth Network (FYN) and is a place for individuals to connect with others working on mentoring files to collaborate and share effective practices and common issues with mentoring programming across the GC (Informal vs formal mentorship programs and/or departmental vs interdepartmental).</big>

<big>We chair monthly meetings for those working on mentoring files and support the creation and collaboration of baseline materials and templates. We manage the GCMentorGC group, Living Library page, EE Informal Networking and Mentorship Platform, and the FB unofficial/informal mentoring group, with the intent of facilitating cross-GC mentoring, amplifying initiatives, and offering a space for people to crowd-source mentoring requests and questions in an open and transparent space. We help employees find and navigate the programs and resources that they have access to and can benefit from.</big>

==What is Mentoring? ==
<big>Mentoring is the practice of advising or guiding someone on their professional journey. This can be done traditionally by a leader or expert in a specific field. Reverse mentoring is also a valuable approach to mentoring. Reverse mentoring is an employee newer to the workforce teaching a more experienced/senior professional or leader topics such as new technology, software, social media and current trends.</big>

<big>Why is mentoring important for young professionals in a virtual environment?</big>
#<big>Overall, professional needs and the world of work is changing.</big>
#<big>They want access to a more flexible form of mentoring.</big>
#<big>Traditional mentoring has its limits.</big>
#<big>Professionals don’t always have the time and patience to deal with coordinated matches and training sessions.</big>
#<big>More and more, organizations are looking for secure digital solutions to support individuals in their professional integration.</big>

== What is GCMentorGC?: ==

<big>The “GCMentorGC” Interdepartmental Mentorship Community of Practice is under the Federal Youth Network (FYN) and is a place for individuals to connect with others working on mentoring files to collaborate and share effective practices and common issues with mentoring programming across the GC (Informal vs formal mentorship programs and/or departmental vs interdepartmental).</big>

<big>We chair monthly meetings for those working on mentoring files and support the creation and collaboration of baseline materials and templates. We manage the GCMentorGC group, Living Library page, EE Informal Networking and Mentorship Platform, and the FB unofficial/informal mentoring group, with the intent of facilitating cross-GC mentoring, amplifying initiatives, and offering a space for people to crowd-source mentoring requests and questions in an open and transparent space. We help employees find and navigate the programs and resources that they have access to and can benefit from.</big>

After graduating high school, I moved to Ottawa for university and eventually graduated with a degree in Political Science and English Literature.

My roots as in Indigenous person keep me grounded and solid in the awareness that no matter our background, we all come from this shared planet, our Mother Earth. That knowledge fuels my passion for environmental protection and conservation. I am proud to now work at Parks Canada as the Associate Field Unit Superintendent for the Nunavut Field Unit, after having held different roles with Indigenous organizations all at the intersection of environmentalism. Today, the work I do supports Indigenous stewardship in our National Parks and sites and sharing our beautiful Inuit Nunangat with Canadians from coast to coast to coast.

After graduating high school, I moved to Ottawa for university and eventually graduated with a degree in Political Science and English Literature. I’ve always had a passion for community expression, and this has reflected in my work. I started off as a summer student at our territorial legislature, was part of Nunavut’s first-ever Youth Parliament, landed a role as Page in the House of Commons during my first year of undergrad, and later spent a couple years working as a political Chief of Staff.

My roots as in Indigenous person keep me grounded and solid in the awareness that no matter our background, we all come from this shared planet, our Mother Earth. That knowledge fuels my passion for environmental protection and conservation. I am proud to now work at Parks Canada as the Associate Field Unit Superintendent for the Nunavut Field Unit, after having held different roles with Indigenous organizations all at the intersection of environmentalism. Today, the work I do supports Indigenous stewardship in our National Parks and sites and sharing our beautiful Inuit Nunangat with Canadians from coast to coast to coast.

Outside of work, I enjoy staying active and close to my community, family and traditions. I try to find a reason to laugh everyday, and its usually from something I’m watching on TV, a good meme, or a funny animal video.

|Associate Field Unit Superintendent
|Parks Canada
|I was raised between Ottawa and Iqaluit, Nunavut. As a young community member, I spent a fair bit of time participating in extra curricular activities and also enjoying our traditional ones too- community gatherings, being on the land, and being close to family and friends. After graduating high school, I moved to Ottawa for university and eventually graduated with a degree in Political Science and English Literature. I’ve always had a passion for community expression, and this has reflected in my work. I started off as a summer student at our territorial legislature, was part of Nunavut’s first-ever Youth Parliament, landed a role as Page in the House of Commons during my first year of undergrad, and later spent a couple years working as a political Chief of Staff.

My roots as in Indigenous person keep me grounded and solid in the awareness that no matter our background, we all come from this shared planet, our Mother Earth. That knowledge fuels my passion for environmental protection and conservation. I am proud to now work at Parks Canada as the Associate Field Unit Superintendent for the Nunavut Field Unit, after having held different roles with Indigenous organizations all at the intersection of environmentalism. Today, the work I do supports Indigenous stewardship in our National Parks and sites and sharing our beautiful Inuit Nunangat with Canadians from coast to coast to coast.

Outside of work, I enjoy staying active and close to my community, family and traditions. I try to find a reason to laugh everyday, and its usually from something I’m watching on TV, a good meme, or a funny animal video.

|Associate Field Unit Superintendent
|Parks Canada
|I was raised between Ottawa and Iqaluit, Nunavut. As a young community member, I spent a fair bit of time participating in extra curricular activities and also enjoying our traditional ones too- community gatherings, being on the land, and being close to family and friends. After graduating high school, I moved to Ottawa for university and eventually graduated with a degree in Political Science and English Literature. I’ve always had a passion for community expression, and this has reflected in my work. I started off as a summer student at our territorial legislature, was part of Nunavut’s first-ever Youth Parliament, landed a role as Page in the House of Commons during my first year of undergrad, and later spent a couple years working as a political Chief of Staff.

My roots as in Indigenous person keep me grounded and solid in the awareness that no matter our background, we all come from this shared planet, our Mother Earth. That knowledge fuels my passion for environmental protection and conservation. I am proud to now work at Parks Canada as the Associate Field Unit Superintendent for the Nunavut Field Unit, after having held different roles with Indigenous organizations all at the intersection of environmentalism. Today, the work I do supports Indigenous stewardship in our National Parks and sites and sharing our beautiful Inuit Nunangat with Canadians from coast to coast to coast.

Outside of work, I enjoy staying active and close to my community, family and traditions. I try to find a reason to laugh everyday, and its usually from something I’m watching on TV, a good meme, or a funny animal video.

I’ve always had a passion for community expression, and this has reflected in my work. I started off as a summer student at our territorial legislature, was part of Nunavut’s first-ever Youth Parliament, landed a role as Page in the House of Commons during my first year of undergrad, and later spent a couple years working as a political Chief of Staff.

My roots as in Indigenous person keep me grounded and solid in the awareness that no matter our background, we all come from this shared planet, our Mother Earth. That knowledge fuels my passion for environmental protection and conservation. I am proud to now work at Parks Canada as the Associate Field Unit Superintendent for the Nunavut Field Unit, after having held different roles with Indigenous organizations all at the intersection of environmentalism. Today, the work I do supports Indigenous stewardship in our National Parks and sites and sharing our beautiful Inuit Nunangat with Canadians from coast to coast to coast.

Outside of work, I enjoy staying active and close to my community, family and traditions. I try to find a reason to laugh everyday, and its usually from something I’m watching on TV, a good meme, or a funny animal video.

After graduating high school, I moved to Ottawa for university and eventually graduated with a degree in Political Science and English Literature.

My roots as in Indigenous person keep me grounded and solid in the awareness that no matter our background, we all come from this shared planet, our Mother Earth. That knowledge fuels my passion for environmental protection and conservation. I am proud to now work at Parks Canada as the Associate Field Unit Superintendent for the Nunavut Field Unit, after having held different roles with Indigenous organizations all at the intersection of environmentalism. Today, the work I do supports Indigenous stewardship in our National Parks and sites and sharing our beautiful Inuit Nunangat with Canadians from coast to coast to coast.

Outside of work, I enjoy staying active and close to my community, family and traditions. I try to find a reason to laugh everyday, and its usually from something I’m watching on TV, a good meme, or a funny animal video.

|Parks Canada
|I was raised between Ottawa and Iqaluit, Nunavut. As a young community member, I spent a fair bit of time participating in extra curricular activities and also enjoying our traditional ones too- community gatherings, being on the land, and being close to family and friends. After graduating high school, I moved to Ottawa for university and eventually graduated with a degree in Political Science and English Literature. I’ve always had a passion for community expression, and this has reflected in my work. I started off as a summer student at our territorial legislature, was part of Nunavut’s first-ever Youth Parliament, landed a role as Page in the House of Commons during my first year of undergrad, and later spent a couple years working as a political Chief of Staff.

My roots as in Indigenous person keep me grounded and solid in the awareness that no matter our background, we all come from this shared planet, our Mother Earth. That knowledge fuels my passion for environmental protection and conservation. I am proud to now work at Parks Canada as the Associate Field Unit Superintendent for the Nunavut Field Unit, after having held different roles with Indigenous organizations all at the intersection of environmentalism. Today, the work I do supports Indigenous stewardship in our National Parks and sites and sharing our beautiful Inuit Nunangat with Canadians from coast to coast to coast.

Outside of work, I enjoy staying active and close to my community, family and traditions. I try to find a reason to laugh everyday, and its usually from something I’m watching on TV, a good meme, or a funny animal video.

|Associate Field Unit Superintendent
|Parks Canada
|I was raised between Ottawa and Iqaluit, Nunavut. As a young community member, I spent a fair bit of time participating in extra curricular activities and also enjoying our traditional ones too- community gatherings, being on the land, and being close to family and friends. After graduating high school, I moved to Ottawa for university and eventually graduated with a degree in Political Science and English Literature. I’ve always had a passion for community expression, and this has reflected in my work. I started off as a summer student at our territorial legislature, was part of Nunavut’s first-ever Youth Parliament, landed a role as Page in the House of Commons during my first year of undergrad, and later spent a couple years working as a political Chief of Staff.

My roots as in Indigenous person keep me grounded and solid in the awareness that no matter our background, we all come from this shared planet, our Mother Earth. That knowledge fuels my passion for environmental protection and conservation. I am proud to now work at Parks Canada as the Associate Field Unit Superintendent for the Nunavut Field Unit, after having held different roles with Indigenous organizations all at the intersection of environmentalism. Today, the work I do supports Indigenous stewardship in our National Parks and sites and sharing our beautiful Inuit Nunangat with Canadians from coast to coast to coast.

Outside of work, I enjoy staying active and close to my community, family and traditions. I try to find a reason to laugh everyday, and its usually from something I’m watching on TV, a good meme, or a funny animal video.

As a young community member, I spent a fair bit of time participating in extra curricular activities and also enjoying our traditional ones too- community gatherings, being on the land, and being close to family and friends. After graduating high school, I moved to Ottawa for university and eventually graduated with a degree in Political Science and English Literature. I’ve always had a passion for community expression, and this has reflected in my work. I started off as a summer student at our territorial legislature, was part of Nunavut’s first-ever Youth Parliament, landed a role as Page in the House of Commons during my first year of undergrad, and later spent a couple years working as a political Chief of Staff.

My roots as in Indigenous person keep me grounded and solid in the awareness that no matter our background, we all come from this shared planet, our Mother Earth. That knowledge fuels my passion for environmental protection and conservation. I am proud to now work at Parks Canada as the Associate Field Unit Superintendent for the Nunavut Field Unit, after having held different roles with Indigenous organizations all at the intersection of environmentalism. Today, the work I do supports Indigenous stewardship in our National Parks and sites and sharing our beautiful Inuit Nunangat with Canadians from coast to coast to coast.

Outside of work, I enjoy staying active and close to my community, family and traditions. I try to find a reason to laugh everyday, and its usually from something I’m watching on TV, a good meme, or a funny animal video.

After graduating high school, I moved to Ottawa for university and eventually graduated with a degree in Political Science and English Literature. I’ve always had a passion for community expression, and this has reflected in my work.

My roots as in Indigenous person keep me grounded and solid in the awareness that no matter our background, we all come from this shared planet, our Mother Earth. That knowledge fuels my passion for environmental protection and conservation. I am proud to now work at Parks Canada as the Associate Field Unit Superintendent for the Nunavut Field Unit, after having held different roles with Indigenous organizations all at the intersection of environmentalism. Today, the work I do supports Indigenous stewardship in our National Parks and sites and sharing our beautiful Inuit Nunangat with Canadians from coast to coast to coast.

Outside of work, I enjoy staying active and close to my community, family and traditions. I try to find a reason to laugh everyday, and its usually from something I’m watching on TV, a good meme, or a funny animal video.

|Associate Field Unit Superintendent
|Parks Canada
|I was raised between Ottawa and Iqaluit, Nunavut. As a young community member, I spent a fair bit of time participating in extra curricular activities and also enjoying our traditional ones too- community gatherings, being on the land, and being close to family and friends. After graduating high school, I moved to Ottawa for university and eventually graduated with a degree in Political Science and English Literature. I’ve always had a passion for community expression, and this has reflected in my work. I started off as a summer student at our territorial legislature, was part of Nunavut’s first-ever Youth Parliament, landed a role as Page in the House of Commons during my first year of undergrad, and later spent a couple years working as a political Chief of Staff.

My roots as in Indigenous person keep me grounded and solid in the awareness that no matter our background, we all come from this shared planet, our Mother Earth. That knowledge fuels my passion for environmental protection and conservation. I am proud to now work at Parks Canada as the Associate Field Unit Superintendent for the Nunavut Field Unit, after having held different roles with Indigenous organizations all at the intersection of environmentalism. Today, the work I do supports Indigenous stewardship in our National Parks and sites and sharing our beautiful Inuit Nunangat with Canadians from coast to coast to coast.

Outside of work, I enjoy staying active and close to my community, family and traditions. I try to find a reason to laugh everyday, and its usually from something I’m watching on TV, a good meme, or a funny animal video.

|'''Seané d'Argencourt-Printup'''[[File:Seané D'Argentcourt Printup.jpg|left|thumb]]
|Associate Field Unit Superintendent
|Parks Canada
|I was raised between Ottawa and Iqaluit, Nunavut. As a young community member, I spent a fair bit of time participating in extra curricular activities and also enjoying our traditional ones too- community gatherings, being on the land, and being close to family and friends. After graduating high school, I moved to Ottawa for university and eventually graduated with a degree in Political Science and English Literature. I’ve always had a passion for community expression, and this has reflected in my work. I started off as a summer student at our territorial legislature, was part of Nunavut’s first-ever Youth Parliament, landed a role as Page in the House of Commons during my first year of undergrad, and later spent a couple years working as a political Chief of Staff.

My roots as in Indigenous person keep me grounded and solid in the awareness that no matter our background, we all come from this shared planet, our Mother Earth. That knowledge fuels my passion for environmental protection and conservation. I am proud to now work at Parks Canada as the Associate Field Unit Superintendent for the Nunavut Field Unit, after having held different roles with Indigenous organizations all at the intersection of environmentalism. Today, the work I do supports Indigenous stewardship in our National Parks and sites and sharing our beautiful Inuit Nunangat with Canadians from coast to coast to coast.

Outside of work, I enjoy staying active and close to my community, family and traditions. I try to find a reason to laugh everyday, and its usually from something I’m watching on TV, a good meme, or a funny animal video.
