General Mentorship Details

What does it mean to be a Mentee?

In general, the Mentorship Initiative wants to bring passionate and talented people into the Node.js community.

As a mentee you will attend meetings with your Mentor and take on tasks related to the goals of the Initiative or Working Group you are in. This means getting up close and personal with some integral workings of one of the largest community based programming ecosystems in the world.

During your time as a Mentee you will get to know many amazing members of the community. You'll also be able to make a direct and personal impact on the direction of the Node.js project through your work in your chosen Initiative or Working Group.

Mentee Commitment

Mentees should be self-motivated and professional. Our Mentors' time is valuable. They are there to offer support, insight, and answers, but you should be proactive about identifying the areas of greatest need and doing your best to help move things forward in those areas. This will require consistent time and effort on your part. One hour per week would be a bare minimum commitment on an Initiative or Working Group that holds biweekly meetings. More time would be required if meetings are held weekly, as time is needed to complete tasks outside of the meetings.
