Welcome to the Mentoring Living Library / Bienvenue!

Come on in: All about this living library

The Mentoring Living Library is a grassroots initiative that works to provide young GofC professionals with the opportunity to informally connect with and learn from experienced employees. Mentees are volunteers and have opted to share their individual expertise and stories with interested mentees and come from a wide range of levels and experience within the federal government. This library is evergreen: mentors will continue to be added over time.
