[aisle] RAILS BIPOC Mentorship Program

Tue Nov 22 16:49:31 CST 2022

Hello,
My name is Joseph Panozzo. I would like to apply to be a mentee as I am a current MLIS student who has a part time job in a public library but has not been properly trained at that library, and is on the verge of quitting in frustration.
When I started filling out the application, I was not allowed to proceed without a BIPOC Identity. I attended the recent RAILS convention. I would like some mentoring. Please help.

Regards,
Joseph Panozzo
