Mentor was available during the day whereas I worked full-time and often could not connect at a time that worked for her.

I was originally an intern with the state team. At volunteer events I met some friendly volunteers who took me under their wings and eventually ended up with a RC mentor and on a great local team!

A lot going on in intern's life. Kept encouraging her to sign up for a lot of volunteering and noted that a lot of shorter volunteering slots add up.

The intern I had last year worked full time, had a daughter graduating, and expecting new grand baby. Very difficult to meet or spend a lot of time together. I just made sure she knew I was available if she had questions and checked in via email.

I had trouble balancing being helpful with "bugging" the intern I worked with. I still don't know whether I struck the right balance! The checklist should help.

The team projects were very effective.  It was great for the interns (and also the mentors) to have a small group to belong to.  For me, it created a wonderful esprit de corps.

If a team adopts a project like a community garden with the idea that mentors and interns are working together, do those work hours get logged as mentoring or community outreach activities?

Tell more about interns getting volunteer hours....
Does this include "chatting" after a meeting" and team gatherings?

# data[].attributes.body
Does things like going to plant sales, visiting gardens, getting-to-know you time all count as volunteer hours for both mentor & intern?
