YOU FOUND A TEAM, WHAT'S NEXT?
Introduce Yourself
Give a short introduction of who you are and why you decided to be a Mentor. Tell your team what you are looking forward to this season. You can even include a fun fact about yourself!
Gather Relevant Information
Ask them to share the mentor communication form with their parents send back to you (optional, but encouraged). Review the resources available to prepare for your first meeting.
Schedule Your First Meeting
Suggest some times you are available to have your first team meeting, Ask students to share when works for them from that availability.
USING THE MENTOR COMMUNICATION FORM
The Mentor Communication Form is a useful tool for you to use with your team:
- It is a method to collect consent from parents/guardians to use a communication tool/platform chosen by the team.
- It gives parents/guardians the option to share their contact information to be included.
- It helps find a common method of communication for the team for the mentor, student and parent records to keep.
This form is for your team’s use, and does not need to be sent to Technovation.

DIDN'T HEAR BACK FROM YOUR TEAM?
Don’t worry! This may be the first time your team has participated in a program like this. Email them a reminder that you’d like to set up your first meeting.
If you haven’t heard back after three contact attempts, you can visit the platform to find another team to mentor.
I still have a question
You can always reach out to Technovation’s Volunteer Engagement Team on Slack or at [email protected].
