Staff Mentorship Program

The GWA mentoring program provides an opportunity for early and mid-career Georgetown mentees to receive professional and career development support from more senior Georgetown colleagues. And, it offers a chance for mentors to hone their leadership skills in a supportive environment.

Between February 2024 – November 2024,  mentor/mentee pairs will participate in structured and unstructured interactions. Each pair will commit to monthly one-on-one meetings, supported by a mentoring toolkit and stipend. Participants will also attend three signature events over the course of the academic year with the full mentoring cohort.

Applications are now closed for the Feb 2024-Nov 2024 cohort.
