Mentors are an important component of the Mozilla Reps program.

Screening New Applicants

Mentors decide who to accept into the program. They do this by:

• Reviewing applications assigned to them on Bugzilla
• Interviewing applicants to learn more about them, and tell them more about the program
• Informing applicants whether or not they've been accepted to the program

Orientation Period

After an applicant has been accepted to the program, he or she has a period of working closely with their mentor to get started as a rep. During this period a mentor will help the applicant:

• Take the first steps in becoming a rep, including returning a signed agreement and filling out a rep profile
• Learn their responsibilities, such as completing monthly reports
• Get started attending and planning events in their local area

The orientation period is a different amount of time depending on the applicant. A mentor also decides when a rep has got the hang of things and has "graduated" from this period.

After the Orientation Period

Mentors still work with their reps even after the orientation period. Mentors will always:

• Monitor their reps' monthly reports
• Assist their reps with swag and budget requests
• Nominate their reps for appropriate recognition and rewards
• Answer any questions or help with any problems
