welcome email to new Mentors

I send this out the day after we vote in a new Mentor: subject: "Welcome, [new Mentor]!

Dear [new Mentor],

It was lovely hearing [sponsor's name] and other TA teachers share words of praise of you as we discussed your candidacy to be a TA mentor. We are collectively happy that you have joined the rank of mentor. I am personally thrilled.

Thank you for all that you have already done to support this work.

The Trillium Awakening Teachers Circle (TATC) has an operations circle. That circle is accountable for ensuring that the administrative side of our circle runs as smoothly as it can given that those in the operations circle do this as volunteers.

I am giving you permission (via a separate email) to view a private website for mentors. At that site you will find the mentor agreements as well as the Interning Teacher application.

There is also a section on the site that has past mentor newsletters. We don't currently have a mentor publishing newsletters but I am sure you will find value in reading the past ones.

In our records, I have listed [teacher's name] as your AMS group teacher. Did I get that right? If you have another teacher who you are also working with, let me know and I will make note of that. You are invited and encouraged to consider all Trillium Awakening Teachers as a resource when questions arise. Mentors are a great part of the support we offer to students, and we want to support your success in return.

We want to make sure that you are included on our website, trilliumawakening.org. Please contact Drew, drewmartinez111@gmail.com. Drew updates our website and will set up a page for your welcome page. Drew will need a short bio and photo for you for your page. He can fill you in on the requirements for the photo pixels. I have copied Drew here so he will know that you will contact him

Also, if you have questions about our operations circle I am happy to provide answers. If you like to read and surf the web, take a peek at

I meet with Mentors once a quarter and will invite you to our next meeting

Congratulations on becoming a Trillium Awakening Mentor!
Warmest regards,
