According to the Help Center of WikiAnswers, the mentoring program "matches up experienced site Supervisors (mentors) with newly promoted Supervisors (protégés) in an effort to provide a friendly, fun and worthwhile learning experience. Mentors provide solid support and guidance, garnered from their own hands-on experiences working as Supervisors within the WikiAnswers community." For more information on the Mentoring Program, see the Related Link. -- Become a registered WikiAnswers member;
-- Become a Supervisor (Floating/Category supervisor);
-- Get allocated a Mentor and learn the ropes;
-- Graduate from being mentored;
-- Be aware that mentoring is basically a form of teaching. Make sure, therefore, that you understand very well how the site works, how to use the various tools, etc.

A Senior Mentor on WikiAnswers is a Mentor who has graduated proteges from the program and has committed to providing support and guidance to a new Mentor who has just joined the program; usually this is one of his or her own graduated proteges, but not always. The idea is to give the new members of the Volunteer Mentoring Program someone specific to rely on for answers to their Mentoring questions, just as a Mentor does this for a Supervisor who has just joined our community.
