<h2>Programme Overview</h2>
A mentor is someone who has previously been on at least one CUCC expedition and has proved themselves competent in expedition caving as judged by their peers and is committed to helping their mentee. Prospective new members to the expedition will be required to have a mentor for the expedition. Mentors will be allowed to mentor one first time expedition goer. If there is a person you want to be mentored but you already have a mentee, help them find another person to mentor them.
Ideally, the mentor and mentee should be on expedition together for a minimum of the first week of the mentees expedition attendance. The mentor and mentee do not have to cave together exclusively but the mentor should oversee the mentees plans to make sure the plans are suitable for the mentee.

<h3>Notes for 2024</h3>

<li> Following feedback from last year there will be a change in how thementor stuff will work this year: Mentor pyramid!
<li> How this will look: New Expo goers will be paired with 1 Mentor. This Mentor will be someone who has some expedition experience e.g. theyve been on the expo 1-3 times. More experienced expo goers will then be mentoring the mentors / mentor-mentee pairs to be a more experienced person to go to. I have made a diagram to try and make this make sense:

<h3>Reasons for this change</h3>
(based on the feedback form we all completed for Mike at the end of Expo 2023)
<ul>
<li> People found mentoring multiple people difficult
<li> People outside the student loop these are often the most experienced people found getting to know/ caving with their mentee pre expo difficult. To resolve this and make it easier for those not living/spending much time in the UK or spending much time in student land these people will now mentor the mentors.

<li> Please put your mentorship pairing on the who/where. There is a sheet titled Mentorship.

<h3>Before Expedition</h3>
<ul>
<li> Get to know your mentee on a personal level so they feel comfortable asking you for help.
<li> Ideally: Go caving with them to understand their caving abilities, especially SRT skills and surveying. If it is not possible to go caving with your mentee (say youre not in the same country), then have a good chat about caving abilities. Explain whats different in Austria.

<li> If cave skills need improvement, help them set a plan for improvement.
<li> Have a chat with your mentee/s ask them about their motivations, expectations, and goals for the expedition and help them to make these realistic.
<li> Inform your mentee/s about ways they can get involved in the expedition before arrival (eg making flapjack).

<h3>On Expedition</h3>
<ul>
<li> Be there at same the time as your mentee. You dont need to have the exact same dates but being around on there first few days would be ideal.

<li> Show them around base and top camp, explain food, callouts, communication, bills etc.
<li> Help them plan a first trip underground that you know they are capable of as a warm up. Debrief with them after to see if they had any issues or concerns.
<li> Help them find suitable trips throughout the expedition.
