Training will be provided by experienced professionals. 2 Kickoff seminars Mandatory seminars (up to 3, depending on demand) provide an opportunity for mentors, mentees, and charities to meet. Discussion and presentations cover best practice in IT volunteering projects suitable technologies to support basic admin functions, eg database development of websites, networks, social networks 3 Mentor and mentee peer networks Networks have 6-8 members who meet, usually virtually, every 3 weeks to share lessons learned, best practice, issues, and successes. Meetings are self-organised around members’ availability. Network meetings are a critical part of personal development and expertise acquisition. Participants’ feedback is a critical part of monitoring the effectiveness of the programme and allowing corrective adjustments to be made if required. When joining the programme, mentors and mentees commit to providing feedback every 2 months. Every effort will be made to keep the feedback process simple and streamlined. 4 Feedback
