Thank you for your interest in the 2024 YGL Mentoring Program! We appreciate your assistance in recruiting participants for our program this year. We have included some bullet points for your reference. Please share with interested applicants.

Program Overview

The YGL Mentoring Program offers the opportunity for individuals new to the government or early in their government careers to form qualitative connections with senior management employees. These connections are imperative to developing the next generation of government leaders.

The Mentoring Program originated from the desire to address generational inconsistencies in the workplace, as well as the lack of resources for high quality, low cost, structured mentoring programs. The YGL Mentoring Program allows for a partnership between new and experienced workers to develop organically. Both mentors and mentees benefit from the overall experience in all aspects of life. For example, mentors are able to actively interpret the needs of our younger generation and cultivate professional workplace ethics.

The 2024 Mentoring Program cycle is from March to September 2024; and will include one-on-one meetings between mentors and mentees, as well as a kickoff and closing event. 

Application

We are currently recruiting both mentors and mentees. To apply, please complete the corresponding application below:
