The Mothcats Mentor Program pairs inexperienced users with a more seasoned member for one-on-one assistance while learning how the group works. There's usually quite a bit going on, which can be confusing to jump into for new members; mentors are here to help answer questions and offer personalized training with whatever aspects of the group you might be having trouble with.
== Requirements and Standards ==
We ask that all members who register for this program do so when they are able to '''actively commit''' to the program (whether to graduate or to mentor another member).
'''Mentors are able to force-drop mentees''' at their discretion if there has been a '''significant absence''' or if they are being ignored. '''Mentees may also request to swap or drop''' specific mentors if they are uncomfortable for any reason or if their mentors displayed significant absence.
Members who have been force-dropped from the program may not register for it again in the future. However, members who request to drop from the program due to '''extenuating circumstances''' may register when they are able to commit again.
=== Mentor-Specific Requirements ===
Mothcats members may volunteer to be mentors based on the following requirements:
* Volunteers must be '''Rank B''' or higher.
* Mentors must be able to communicate via '''Discord'''.
* Mentors must be in '''good standing''' with the group (cannot have any recent infractions or currently on probation).
* Mentors may only have up to a certain number of mentees at a time:
** '''Unranked''' and '''Rookie''' Mentors may have up to '''1''' mentee.
** '''General''' Mentors may have up to '''2''' mentees.
** '''Veteran''' Mentors may have up to '''3''' mentees.
** '''S/S+/S++ Rank''' members can opt to "'''overclock'''" and take up to '''5''' mentees.
*** Overclocking is not recommended but may be required when there is a shortage of available mentors.
'''Mentors are subject to the following rights if accepted into the program''':
* They may decline specific requests if they are too busy or uncomfortable with the mentee.
* They may request to "force-drop" specific mentees if they feel like they are being ignored or if the mentee is no longer interested in the program.
* They may also request to reassign specific mentees if they are uncomfortable with the mentee for any reason.
* They may resign from their position at any given time.
'''Disclaimer''': Because this is a Mothcats sponsored position, we reserve the right to deny anyone whom we feel are not suitable representatives of our group.
