I wanted to bring it up during tomorrow's meeting, but no one may reply by then. Advice is needed regardless nonetheless, but it'd help if I could implement it ASAP.

Anyway my request is that I have some position ideas for the team, as I've been racking my brain out trying to think of some. I know it's based mainly off of what they're interested in and what they want to do, but if I suggest some jobs maybe they'd try it.

Thanks in advance,

[PS: I'm also trying to coordinate getting our team to be involved in the community year-round. Thoughts on that subject are also welcome!]

The best thing to do in my opinion is to assign first year people to be paired up with a veteran or mentor who works in the same area they want to work in. Then have the new member shadow the more experienced one until the new member is ready to do projects of their own.
