*What does it mean to be a mentor?

Being a divisional mentor means you are designating yourself as someone your teammates can go to in pursuit of game knowledge and support. You are promising your time in giving your teammates constructive feedback. If asked by a mentee, you should complete a Mentor Program worksheet to enhance communication and provide structure to your mentorship. Preview the forms here.
