Who is the WikiAnswers Mentoring Program for?
The Mentoring Program was designed for newly-appointed supervisors to have the opportunity to learn from experienced supervisors. No supervisor is turned away, though. We are always eager to help any supervisor who wants to learn a new superpower or has questions about WikiAnswers!
What do you feel you can give to the mentoring partnership program?
I can give many hours to the mentoring program because it's very important to the wikianswers web site and me. It's helpful for users to know and understand how to use the super tools. Also, how to conduct themselves on the site, and it's important to me and for me to be a good example to them. This is what I give to the mentoring program and my proteges, myself.

What is the difference between a Senior Mentor and a regular Mentor on WikiAnswers?
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.
What is the definition of program coordinator?

What is the WikiAnswers Mentoring Program all about?
WikiAnswers Mentoring ProgramThe WikiAnswers Mentoring Program is designed to help newly appointed supervisors learn about WikiAnswers and how to use their Super Powers. The purpose of the program is to provide the best way possible for those who are starting out as supervisors to learn all they would like and need to know in order to supervise effectively. To accomplish those goals, every newly appointed supervisor is notified about the program and is invited to have a mentor. Those who accept the invitation, are paired with an experienced supervisor who has demonstrated knowledge of the site and is proficient in the use of the superpowers. The mentor contacts the protege, either by leaving a message on the message board or by email. Once the protege replies, mentoring begins!Our Mentoring Program is special in that we strive to meet the needs of individual Proteges. We realize that all Proteges have the same needs and learning style, so if what is wanted is someone to answer questions and lend a hand if one is needed, we can do that. On the other hand, if a Protege wants to learn by being led step-by-step through the use of the Super Powers, we can do that, too! We are truly an individualized instruction program!Once the protege becomes proficient at using superpowers and has gained knowledge of the site, graduating is discussed. Though the mentor may suggest graduating, the final decision to advance from the program to being "on your own" is left up to the protege. Graduation does not mean that the mentor just goes away! They continue to help and answer questions whenever asked.Those who have graduated from the Mentoring Program will certainly tell you that it's the way to go!
