[TriZPUG] Mentorship Program

[Kurt Grandis]

Hey Folks,

At the PyCon Community Organizer meeting, the Chicago UG (ChiPy) mentioned
that they've set up a mentorship program.

The idea is to match beginners up with experienced users and they would
meetup (physically or virtually) for at least 1 hour/week for 3 months.
They would work together to come up with a plan to achieve the mentee's
envisioned goals (be it professional or otherwise). Recommendations, code
reviews, pairing, introductions, reading list curations, discussions, etc.

We have a LOT of project nights and people pitching in and helping already.
I'm always impressed whenever I attend, so maybe it's not as relevant for
this area? I can imagine having a stable contact to reach out to and by
also having some mid/long-term personalized guidance and support could also
be very helpful. Anyways it sounded interesting and wanted to share the
concept here. Food for thought.
