    There is a mixture of what the mentor does and what the client does that is confusing.

    This explanation still does not go into how and when to transfer a case to another Chapter..

    This process probably gives the client a false sense that the Mentor will be dealing with the client in the future, as they made a good start to a working relationship.

    anthonyj.defazio the mentor should be the lead contact for the client unless it is explicitly discussed that they recommend the client work with another mentor. They should then help the client find a new mentor either by assigning a team member, or by showing the client how to search www.score.org for volunteer profiles and direct requests.

    Ann.Whitcomb has a good point about the mixing of roles -- this document mostly focuses on the mentor's role. There should be a separate document with different contents for the client.

    How detail should your session notes be?  #4 says to summarize mentoring session.  Summarizing session notes with just 1, 2, or 3 lines per session is not adequate to go back and review someone else's session notes if the client comes back to you or if you are asked to help with someone's client.
