Mentee Responsibilities
Please read the below items carefully.
This list was crafted to ensure that everyone gets the most out of the program -- both mentors and mentees.
You agree to respect the time and experience of your mentor. The mentors have volunteered to take you under their wing and share their experience and knowledge.
Once you agree to meet, please be at the location on time. If you cannot attend, give your mentor a minimum of 48 hours' notice. A last-minute emergency warrants a call or text!
No children, family members, or friends may attend a mentoring session.
Bring what you need with you -- it does you no good at home or in your car. Be prepared to carry your own equipment.
Wear appropriate footwear and clothing. Weather is not an excuse to stay home unless the mentor cancels first!
Ensure you know how to access basic controls for aperture, shutter speed and ISO for your camera. You may find it helpful to download your camera's manual from the manufacturer's website onto your phone.
Emergency Preparedness
We require that all mentees carry an envelope with your name and the name of an emergency contact with their phone number on the outside of the envelope. This should be with you (on your person) at all times during a mentoring session.
Inside of the sealed envelope, the following information should be on a sheet of paper.
- Full name and address with emergency contact and phone number
- Medical Conditions, prescription drugs, and allergies
- Insurance info if you have it, copies of cards are excellent.
In case of emergency, this sealed envelope will be handed to EMS personnel. No one else will see it.
