Apply to become a Teen Transitioning Mentor here!
Hi everyone! As you all know, we recently ramping up the Teen Transitioning Mentor team using our Welcome to Uptown project to help those teens that are aging up to the adult side of 7 Cups soon. The process of aging up can be overwhelming with all the changes that happen on the site. The team's goal is to ensure that the teens are aware that support is available to them during this transition period.
To best assist teens in their transition period, you should be aware of the following:
How the aging up process is on 7 Cups
Logistics around the process and the changes that come with switching sides
-
Why aging up can be hard
What are the requirements:
- Be an adult (18+)
- No serious behavior reports in the past 3 months
- Must be an Adult-Teen Listener (ATL) for at least a month
- Those in a leadership role already will be given preference!
- Have aged up on the website before (Have the Evolution badge) - This is optional!
Some notes to keep in mind:
- This role is available to only ATLs as they are the only ones that can interact with teens.
- The team reserves the right to remove any mentor on any basis, well within reason. It can be based on inactivity, unprofessionalism, etc.
- Each role entails a month-long trial that follows the training. You will be trained initially and then put on a trial so both you and the team can create an understanding of each others' work style.
- Please be mindful of how much time you can dedicate to the role. We have requirements for this role that need to be fulfilled and will only be possible if you are active.
General expectations from all the roles:
- Always be open to feedback, be it positive or constructive. We strive on the feedback we are given and will take every opportunity we can to become better.
- The roles will require consistent involvement
- Quick learner and a team player
- Must be comfortable leading group discussions for the team
- Be a proactive guide to all our teens so they can transition smoothly
- Be flexible and ready to adapt to different needs that you might come around to face
- Deliver a good response time to teen mentees. It is recommended that you reply to mentees within 3 days/72 hours.
- Please review our leadership position guidelines: https://tinyurl.com/ybeze92s
