We encourage mentors to be as open to learning from their mentees, as they are to teaching, for the benefit and growth of both individuals and the program as a whole.
Being a Mozilla Reps mentor requires a familiarity with different tools and processes that the Council has put in place to better streamline the way Mozilla Reps can document their activities, request budgets for projects, order swag and interact with other Reps.
A mentor also serves as a coach, dedicated to helping their mentee’s personal development. This includes the following responsibilities:

*Be available for their mentees in a timely matter
*Organize regular coaching sessions with your mentees
*Be available for other Reps for coaching sessions which fit your specialized skills
**Example: If a mentor has a great experience in Goal Setting activities, other Reps might approach this mentor to learn more


====How to Become a Mentor====
We encourage mentors to be as open to learning from their mentees, as they are to teaching, for the benefit and growth of both individuals and the program as a whole.
Nominations are requested by council of the mentor community on an 'as needed basis'.
New Mentors are nominated by existing Mentors, through one of two ways:
# Direct recognition by a mentor.  ie: They know someone who would make a great mentor.
# Self-nomination, which is the process of proclaiming your interest to your own mentor or another mentor in the community.  It will be that mentor's job to evaluate the self-nominating Rep. make recommendations to council, as to whether that self-nomination should be accepted.
 
You can read the complete process [[ReMo/Mentors/SelectionProcess|here]]
 
====Administrative====


The mentor role comes with many administrative tasks, of which these are requirements.

== Screening Rep Applications process ==
{{Admon/important |Keep bugs tidy| Please make sure that within the process the application bug is up to date with the progress and reflects the steps as noted below}}
 
=== 1) Being assigned an applicant ===
Once an applicant has submitted their application form, a bug is created on bugzilla that is triaged by Reps leadership. If this applicant has been selected for the next round, they might assign this applicant to you, by assigning you the bug. If this is the case, you will receive an email informing you of this and will be able to access it.
 
Bug Status : '''ASSIGNED'''<br>
Bug Whiteboard : '''Mentor assigned'''
 
=== 2) Screening the applicant ===
The bug you've been assigned contains all the applicant submitted when applying. Read carefully through this information and decide whether or not you think this person is a good candidate to become a Mozilla Rep. [[ReMo/SOPs/Mentoring/Screening|Learn more...]]
 
=== 3) Orientation Period  ===
 
After an applicant has been approved to join the program, he or she has a period of working closely with their mentor to get started as a rep. including an [[Mentor_Orientation_Call|Orientation Call]]. During this period (called the "Orientation Period) a mentor will help the applicant:


*Take the first steps in becoming a rep, including returning a signed agreement and filling out a rep profile
=Changing your mentor=
*Learn their responsibilities, such as completing monthly reports
*Get started attending and planning events in their local area
*Set personal goals


The duration of the orientation period from one Rep to the next. A mentor also decides when a Rep is ready "graduated" from the orientation period. [[ReMo/SOPs/Mentoring/Orientation|Learn more...]]
Normally the commitment for the 1:1 relationship is done for one year. After that year, the commitment can either be extended or the mentor can be changed. This allows to continue fruitful coaching sessions or to be assigned to a new mentor with a different skill set to broaden the horizon and skills of a Rep. If a mentor becomes inactive, mentors can be changed disregarding the 1 year commitment through the Reps Council.


=== 4) Post-Orientation Period  ===
For more details about changing your mentor, check the [[ReMo/SOPs/Mentoring/Reassigning|Reassigning a Mentor page]].
Mentors continue to work with their Reps even after the orientation period. Mentors are tasked to always:


*Monitor their Reps' [[ReMo/SOPs/Monthly_Reports|monthly reports]]
=Mentor Assessment=
*Review and validate their Reps with swag and budget requests [[ReMo/Tools_and_Resources|(see Tools & Resources)]]
*Nominate their reps for appropriate recognition and rewards
*Raise the profile of emerging leaders to council
*Answer any questions or help with any issues/problems their Reps may have


Bug Status : '''RESOLVED'''<br>
There is a yearly feedback round for both mentors and mentees. This allows to identify strengths and weaknesses we can improve upon. This highly improves the quality of the coaching relationships.
Bug Whiteboard : '''Accepted/Orientation Finished'''

=Resigning=
=== Re-assigning mentorship to another mentor ===
If a mentor can no longer fulfill his/her duties as a mentor, the mentor must send an email to the Council or any of the [https://reps.mozilla.org/people/#/group/council/ Council Members] to resign and recommend a new mentor to replace him/her.
There are some cases when the mentor assigned to a rep can no longer fulfill his/her duties as mentor. [[ReMo/SOPs/Mentoring/Reassigning|Learn more...]]
