About the database
Mentorship offers a plethora of benefits to mentors and mentees, yet it can be challenging for people to find mentors that align with their needs and professional backgrounds. It can be intimidating for people entering the environmental sector to navigate a new field and find a mentor. Environmental professionals who currently work in the field also struggle to find a mentor, as our 2024 Transparency Report found only 30% of organizations offer formal mentorship programs.
The Green 2.0 Mentorship Database fills these gaps by providing a way for people to find others willing to connect and by providing resources to guide them in how to foster mentoring relationships.
Mentors and mentees can use the database in a variety of ways, and mentors are free to act both as a mentor and a mentee. The database can be used to:
- Find a mentor.
- Support your job seeking efforts through informational interviews and long-term mentoring relationships.
- Connect with peers to learn from each other.
- Seek advice through coaching.
- Network with mentors and/or mentees.
- And much more!
To read more, please see our Mentorship Database Overview.

Joining the database as a mentor is open to anyone (18+) with professional experience in the environmental sector at all levels in their career from entry-level to executive level. You do not have to currently be employed, but should have some experience in the environmental sector that allows you to offer information, advice, and/or guidance to a mentee. If this applies to you, you are welcome to submit a request to join and have a mentor profile created.
