c. You must be willing to make a time commitment to communicate with your

Assigning Mentor Partners
BCSPA will attempt to match the preferences marked on the forms as closely as possible for mentor and mentee. Once a match has been found, the E-Mentor will be contacted to make sure he or she is still willing to serve as a mentor, and to make them aware that a new BCSPA member will be assigned to them.
Mentoring Process
BCSPA will provide initial guidelines to the partners that will help guide their mentoring process; however, the communication between mentor partners will be arranged by the partners for how and when to communicate.
At the end of two months, BCSPA will contact both mentor and mentee to determine if a match is successful. At the end of six months, BCSPA will contact both mentor and mentee to gather feedback on the success of the program. However, the mentor partners may decide on an individual basis if they would like to continue to communicate after the six-month period.
