To become a mentor, please fill out the application below from the coded format, and then PM it to an admin. After I have read your application, I'll let you know if I have a spot for you as a mentor. If you are added as a mentor, you will be required to fill out a short bio, which will be added to the list of mentors, and also be added as an officer to the club. From there, you can take apprentices as you choose. Should you ever decide to become an inactive mentor, it will be edited into your bio.

Small note on Mentor Bios-
Remember to use these bios to inform your apprentices about yourself! You might even choose to use parts of your application above! These bios are used so that apprentices looking for specific things can request certain mentors, so make sure to inform them about important facts about yourself.
Do not apply here. Please send your application to an admin.
