[mhdawson]

Great to see us getting to the point were we can start bringing people into the mentorship program.

[ralphtheninja]

[mcollina]

Hey @flickz! The application forms are opened now, please follow the links in the main repo README to apply and get all the details about the program! Hope see you soon!

[BeniCheni]

Hi, kudos to this awesome program! Read all excellent details and signed up as a mentee. Congrats to the program and hope to be considered as a mentee. 😄

[danielryanbeck]

This whole thing is incredible. The kind of thing you hope would happen but doesn't often come along. Hoping we all unwrap a golden ticket!

[ankibalyan]

This is great! Happy to be here! Thanks for keeping the program focused. Kudos to the node team!

[Bamieh]

@PrajwalM2212 this should be coordinated with your match based on the goals you've set, however the program expects a minimum amount of meetings between the pair, and commitment to update the "mentorship bio" to report meetings and milestones. In order to graduate successfully from the program you need to have reached your mentorship goals, or parts of it at least.

[Bamieh]

@PrajwalM2212 Thanks for your interest and support! we're currently in the first round which will end in September, after that we'll announce a new round.

The mentor/mentee ratio is super skewed so getting everyone applied to join might take a while. Our plan however is to increase the mentoring capacity gradually with time

Hi everyone, I have applied for the Node mentorship program (as a mentee) . Really looking forward to be part of the foundation. :D

I've reached out to @gtewallace to see if we can get those Google Forms under a Node.js Foundation account 🤗

[Bamieh]

@bnb awesome thanks!

I noticed the code of conduct link points to the mentorship repo, which in turn directs people to the admin repo. Would it perhaps make sense to simply link to the admin repo?

@MylesBorins it might make more sense I'm not actually sure. But it has an additional text about confidentiality of mentors and mentees.

[flickz]

@Bamieh Free to sign up as mentee now?

[Bamieh]

@BeniCheni Thanks for the feedback! We'd love to have you.

[PrajwalM2212]

@Bamieh How many hours is the mentee expected to commit towards the program on a daily basis ?

[Bamieh]

@ankibalyan Thank you!

[PrajwalM2212]

@Bamieh I have applied as a mentee clearly addressing my goals and experiences. Thanks to the organisation for such a great and generous program.

[PrajwalM2212]

@Bamieh I have a few questions
Has the program already started ?
How long should I wait before getting accepted ?

[sladyn98]

@Bamieh I applied to the mentorship program. How long should i wait before getting accepted?
Thanks for your time.

[Hamza-324]

Hello Everybody, Do we have a date on when the mentorship program is supposed to start this year?

[Bamieh]

@Hamza-324 The matching process is estimated so start on June 10th. The application form is open for mentees to apply. You can find it on the first line of the README in this repo.

[Bamieh]

Closing this issue as per @amiller-gh's recommendation to avoid confusion.
