Mentorship Resources/Mentoring Living Library

Welcome to the Mentoring Living Library / Bienvenue!

Come on in: All about this living library

The Mentoring Living Library is a grassroots initiative that provides young GofC professionals with the opportunity to informally connect with and learn from experienced employees. Mentees are volunteers and have generously offered to share their time and individual stories with interested mentees. They also come from a wide range of levels and experience from within the federal government.

This library is evergreen: mentors will continue to be added over time.

Get your library card ready: How to 'check out' a mentor

Below, you will find all of the mentors participating in this living library as Books. Scan through the various Books on our shelf and read more about them. When you find one who speaks to your interests and goals, you're ready for 'check out'! To borrow a Book, send them an email and schedule a one-on-one chat. The suggested amount of time for a chat is 30 minutes.

Just as you would with regular library books, please respect these Living Library Books. Remember: they are volunteering their time and knowledge to you!
