The mentor role is also important in the development and success of mentees, as future leaders of the program. These are the requirements of Reps mentorship:
=Mentors Role=


*[[Mentor Orientation Call|Scheduling an Orientation Call]]
The Mentor role is one of support. This involves a number of responsibilities, such as guiding new Reps within the Program, offering advice and encouragement to their mentees and supporting them in staying active and engaged withing the Reps Program.
* Regular communication, as defined in orientation call.
 
* Read all follow-up posts on bug - blog posts & photos (share where appropriate)
=Mentors Activities=
* Nominate mentees for Rep of the Month, for reaching or exceeding goals & expectations.
 
* Flag opportunities for your mentees (training, events, introductions)
*'''Mentors should have a general idea of how their mentees are doing and offer support as appropriate.''' To this end:
* Publicly celebrate the success of their initiatives
**Mentors should  aim to '''organize at least one meeting a year with each mentee to touch base with them'''. This meeting could be used to discuss the plans of the mentee and also to establish what kind of support they need. [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1v7sRsJNsrmPkolfK_MuafgeDkm2HMQVFgnK8LwTmhoU/edit?usp=sharing A template for this meeting can be found here] and [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1iNAPzKVZz7Y66tacPYW4o9mL_RvFqlXRuVLJVO960c0/edit?usp=sharing here you can find more detailed suggestions on how to carry out the meeting].
* Communicate recognition of emerging leaders to council
**Mentor '''should carry out regular communication with their mentees''' as established in the yearly meeting.
* Be part of the program at least since a year
**Mentors '''should be available to support their mentees with specific issues when they arise'''. The mentee should be able to reach their mentor through an agreed upon communication channel, and receive timely support.  
* On Mozillians the Google Identity provider needs to be configured to access on the private Google Drive folder for Mentors
 
* The 2FA on people.mozilla.org should be configured to access the private category on Discourse
 
*'''Supporting new Reps''': Mentors have a very important role in supporting new Reps. New reps need more frequent guidance than other reps, a  meeting at least every three months (and possibly more often) is advised. [[Reps/SOPs/Mentoring/Orientation/Call|You can find more guidance on how to conduct a first orientation call here]].
 
 
*'''Mentors support the council in relating information about changes and important events in the Reps program to their mentees'''. You are encouraged to establish what are important updates that need to be communicated, but a member of the council will post in discourse and communicate during the mentors call if there are important updates we would like the mentors to pass on to their mentees
 
''N.B. These are not information that are given uniquely to mentors, but we need mentors’ help to make sure that important information reaches their mentees.''
 
=Communication Channels and Tools=
 
*People.mozilla.org. All mentors should have an updated profile and be in the [https://people.mozilla.org/a/mozilla-reps-mentor/ Mozilla Reps Mentor access group]
 
*Community Portal: all Mentors should have an updated profile and be in the [https://community.mozilla.org/en/groups/mozilla-reps-mentors/ Mozilla Reps group].
 
*We have a [https://discourse.mozilla.org/c/reps/mentors/268 special Discourse category for mentors]. Make sure that you have access to it and that you are watching it.
 
*[https://chat.mozilla.org/#/room/#reps-mentors:mozilla.org Mentors matrix room]: all mentors should have access to it. This is the place to talk with other mentors and ask questions.
