Applications are now open for METRO's (Metropolitan New York Library Council) Equity Mentorship Program!
The Equity Mentorship Program supports BIPOC students and early professionals in the library and archives field. Along with their deep bench of instructors, they've created a curriculum that will aid BIPOC in their careers, while providing an opportunity for collaboration, community, networking, and mentorship.
Selected participants will meet biweekly in an online Zoom "classroom" for 120 minutes (2 hours) from October to December 2022. Coursework addresses skills that they believe are necessary to facilitate a healthy workplace environment and personal wellbeing while at work.
After the in-session classes have concluded, participants will be provided with a scholarship of up to $2,000 to pursue this and will have until June 2023 to engage with continued learning as a part of this program.
The deadline for applications is Friday, August 5th 2022. Please take a look at their Program Information Sheet, Session Descriptions, and website for more information about the program, application process and eligibility. Please direct any question to Traci Mark (tmark@metro.org).
There is also an information session coming up on Thursday, July 21st from 11:00am to 12:00pm. Be prepared with any questions you may have! Register here.
With warm regards,
The METRO Team
