MENTORS WANTED!
Will you take the time to help a new musher?
Someone probably helped you along in your early development as a musher
...actually probably several someone's along the way. Here's your opportunity to
help another new musher learn the ropes.
The Internet offers a unique opportunity to work
with a new musher
through e-mail correspondence on your schedule, at your convenience. The
more traditional methods of mentoring by phone or in person are also an option if you're
comfortable with that.
If you are an experienced musher who would like to share what you've
learned, you're in the right place!
Only the type of mentoring you choose to do will be
included in your listing
If you only wish to mentor by e-mail, only your e-mail address will be included in your
listing, along with your hometown (if you grant permission in the form) and your
experience summary.
Feel free to include your suggestions for improving the SDC
Mentor Program in the Suggestions Section at the bottom of the form.
Thanks for your help!
The best way to grow our sport is by helping individuals find good information and learn
