Messages to mentors to follow up on their event RSVPs

Below are templates you can use as guides to send follow up emails to mentors based on their and their mentees' monthly event RSVPs on the platform. The templates are designed so that you can send emails to groups of mentors based on how they fall into the ten categories below. If you have questions about how to edit these messages to fit your program, please discuss with your manager.

1. Mentor "NO" to Kick-Off Event

Subject: [Program Name] Rescheduling for the Kick-Off Event

Dear (selected) mentors of [Partner Site],

You are receiving this email because you are unable to attend [Partner Site]’s Kick-off event on [date]. Because it is extremely important that you start the year off right, I’m writing to confirm that you can attend the second and third events, on [2nd Event Date] at [Location] and then [3rd Event Date] at [Partner Site].

Furthermore, we require mentors who are unable to attend an event to schedule a make-up meeting with their mentee. Please let me know which of the 2 or 3 options below you will be able to attend:

<Next [Program Name] session>
<[Program Name] session after that>
<Any school/after school events teachers have informed you about>
<All [Program Name] office days for next 2 weeks>

Please let me know at least two options that work for you and be sure to follow-up with your mentee by phone or email. I can give you your mentee's phone number if you do not have it on file. 

Please also remember that failure to meet your mentee within the first four weeks will lead to a probationary status or being unmatched. Let me know how best I can support you in kicking-off the year right with your mentee. 

Best,
[Staff Name]
