<p><span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Agile Philly ran a pilot <span class="il">Mentoring</span> <span class="il">program</span> for the past few months. Feedback has been positive. Mentees have gotten an outside perspective of their challenging situations with ideas to grow and overcome their obstacles. <span class="il">Mentors</span> have honed their leadership and coaching skills. </span><br/> <span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span><br/> <span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Now we're ready to expand beyond the pilot. The <span class="il">program</span> will continue to be informal (minimal guidelines), at no cost to mentees and no revenue to <span class="il">mentors</span>. </span><br/> <br/> <span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">To expand the pilot, we are accepting volunteers, focusing on Mentees (someone who wants to be <span class="il">mentored</span>). </span><br/> <br/> <span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong>Volunteering Mentees</strong> (getting <span class="il">mentored</span>): We want you!! We have fewer mentee volunteers than <span class="il">mentor</span> volunteers. If you would be interested in being <span class="il">mentored</span>, please send mail to <a href="mailto:AgilePhillyCoordinators@yahoogroups.com">AgilePhillyCoordinators@yahoogroups.com</a> with Subject "</span><span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Mentee". Please provide an overview of your situation along with what you hope to gain from the <span class="il">program</span> so that you can more easily be matched with someone experienced in the area you're interested in. Also, include your location (so we can pair people who are reasonably close so they can meet in person if both parties want to do so) and your job role. </span><br/> <br/> <span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong>Volunteering <span class="il">Mentors</span></strong> (giving <span class="il">mentoring</span>): In the pilot, we received many more <span class="il">mentor</span> volunteers than mentees. While we have <span class="il">mentors</span> who are waiting in the wings for their first mentee, we will also accept additional volunteers to be a <span class="il">mentor</span>. If you want to join the list of available <span class="il">mentors</span> (or just want to confirm you are on our <span class="il">mentor</span> list) please mail to <a href="http://AgilePhillyCoordinators@yahoogroups.com/?Subject=Mentor">AgilePhillyCoordinators@yahoogroups.com</a> with Subject "Mentor"</span><span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">. </span><span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">If you are volunteering as a </span><span class="il" style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">mentor</span><span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"> for the first time, please provide your qualifications / background so you can be more easily matched with someone looking for your experiences. In your response, provide your location (so we can pair people who are reasonably close so they can meet in person if both parties want to do so) and your job role (e.g. Agile Coach, Product Owner, Scrum Master, etc.)</span></p>
