Re: Mentors
I am a mentor for my old team. I came back after my senior year to help out. Mr. Martus set up guide lines for whom ever wanted to help after gradation to follow, and if you don't then you are no longer able to help. It wasn't written so much for me but for kids to come. Me and my husband were the first ones to do this for my team ( we weren't engineers and we weren't teachers) we were just two people wanting to come back and help. The year after that other alumni were wanting to do what we were doing but not with the same order as we had. We know our place and boundary's they didn't so that's what the mentors rule were written for. Four years later me and my husband are still doing it. The biggest thing was pulling yourself away from that student role. The best thing I can tell you is set up guide lines. I know it's volunteer for people to help but kids should suffer because of it. Kids should have an environment to grow in not to be left out in. If you want to see what we have you can e-mail me and i will see if I can get my hands on a copy of it.
