Volunteer Mentors Needed

[Dawn]

Fifth Chair Foundation is starting a new 1:1 mentoring program on BBO!

 

What is a Mentor?

Mentors are advanced players willing to donate their time back to the game they love to help bring a new generation into the game of bridge. Mentors agree to play at least one one-hour learning session with their adopted learner per week (an average); answer questions via e-mail; and generally support their learner's bridge education process. Experience, patience, interest and humor are important characteristics of the successful mentor. When mentors receive their assigned learner, they will also get a list of suggestions and guidelines about mentoring. Fifth Chair places beginners, novices and Intermediate- players with mentors.

 

A mentor waiting list is presently being compiled. If you would like to apply to be a mentor, please e-mail the following information to BBO@fifthchair.org (put "MENTOR-Your BBO ID" in the subject line):
