1. What is the Buddy System?
The Buddy system is where two people are paired up as mentor and mentee, the mentor being the experienced member and the mentee the newer member. It aims to help new members feel more settled during their early days on YWS and gives them the opportunity to have someone more experienced answer any questions they have.
2. What can a mentor do for me?
As mentors we do our best to make you feel welcome, to help you meet other members if you are shy or having difficulty and to do anything we can to make your experience at YWS the best it can be. We will also make an effort to review at least some of the writing you post during the official mentoring period (which lasts for one month) and sometimes we will continue to review you afterwards.
3. How do I get a mentor?
Read through the bios in this thread and send a message to any mentor you're interested in being paired with, or post on this thread and say that you're looking for a buddy and one of our mentors will reply to you.
4. What if I want to be a mentor?
If you're interested in joining the mentor programme please pm Rydia and she will give you any information you need.
