Homer, Jack One-on-One Mentoring Program: status and thoughts (The mentoring program (which started Dec 2019) is going strong, despite the hit it took last year during COVID (many dropouts during that time), and is enjoyed by both mentors and mentees. We have 29 matches currently in progress, with a reliable stable of 15 mentors who cover them. We are getting close to the capacity of those 15, but expanding their number or their hours is difficult and risky. I recommend instead limiting the duration of mentorship; perhaps 9 or 10 months would be a good maximum, and justified by the experience to date.) Report Supporting
