Mia Linden: *Mentor Buddies*

Mia Linden: Mentor Buddies are experienced volunteers in the group who are okay with being contacted directly by other volunteers with questions or advice.

Mia Linden: This is entirely an optional role and may come with extra responsibility, but for many of you who already want to help new volunteers get their feet wet, this is the directory you have been looking to join for a while now. Buddies should be cool, calm, and patient! If that’s you, it might be something to consider.

Mia Linden: Touch base with Daniel Voyager or Yacobheimer125 Voom who are both TSL Mentor Buddies!
