    <title>R-Ladies chapter mentoring program guidelines :: R-Ladies organizational guidance</title>
    <link>https://guide.rladies.org/coordination/mentoring/index.html</link>
    <description>Objective 🎯 The main objective of the R-Ladies chapter mentoring program is to help organisers conduct successful meetups and keep their chapters active.&#xA;Organizing an R-Ladies chapter involves a series of non-trivial tasks that can feel overwhelming to a new organiser. However, a number of experienced R-Ladies organisers are willing to mentor new ones, and can provide great advice.&#xA;For mentors, this is an opportunity to help to build community, learn about the realities of other chapters, gain experience as a mentor and contribute to R-Ladies as an organisation.</description>

      <description>By signing on or participating in the mentoring program you agree to the following:&#xA;Abide by R-Ladies’ Code of Conduct in all activity and interactions you have within the mentoring program. If at any moment, the mentor or mentee feel uncomfortable, or any issues arise, we offer two channels of resolution:&#xA;(a) The relationship between mentor and mentee does not work. There could be many causes for this to happen (e.g. breakdown in communication, or lack of engagement from one party). In this case, the mentor and/or mentee should talk to their R-Ladies point of contact. The mentor and/or mentee can decide to (1) quit the program or, in the case of the mentee, (2) ask for a new mentor. We won’t explicitly ask you why you think the relationship did not work, but we do encourage you fill out the feedback form.</description>

      <description>The R-Ladies Mentoring Program was created to support chapter organizers around the world in strengthening, reactivating, or launching their local communities.&#xA;Through mentorship, experienced organizers (mentors) share knowledge, advice, and encouragement with new or less experienced organizers (mentees). The program aims to foster sustainable chapters, promote collaboration across regions, and ensure that R-Ladies remains an inclusive, supportive global network.&#xA;This document serves as an internal guide for the mentoring team. It provides the key tools, workflows, and templates needed to coordinate the program effectively. Its purpose is to ensure consistency, clarity, and smooth communication among team members while managing mentor–mentee matches, monitoring progress, and collecting feedback.</description>
