NEW MEMBER MENTORSHIP PROGRAM 

The new member mentorship program allows new Valley of the Sun Rotary Passport Club (VOTS) Rotarians the opportunity to get to know their fellow Rotarians and more quickly become part of the club, the District and Rotary International. It encompasses a six (6) month period during which the new member, under the guidance of a mentor, will have varied opportunities to participate in Rotary fellowship and activities.

The program requires the completion of a minimum of seven of twelve activities within the first six months after induction.  Five of the activities are mandatory. The mentor will monitor progress and report successful completion to the membership chair. At that time, special recognition will be made by the club at the end of the program.
