Sponsor and mentor are two jobs that help a new club. They are not the same job. They are not Club Coach.
Start here
Want to sponsor or mentor in District 50? Email the Club Growth Director. The District Director or Club Growth Director appoints you.
Two jobs
Sponsor

- Follows club leads.
- Tells people about the new club.
- Runs or helps run demo meetings.
- Helps complete forms.
- Helps the club get to 20 members.
- Helps plan the charter celebration.
- A new club may have up to two sponsors.
Mentor
Helps after charter.
- Stays at least six months. Can stay up to a year.
- Helps the club run good meetings.
- Helps members stay and take roles.
- Works with the new officers.

- Names go on the Application to Organize, or the District Director or Club Growth Director sends names to newclubs@toastmasters.org within 60 days after charter.
Who can do it
Experienced Toastmasters. Mentors are picked to fit the club when they can. A mentor should not treat the new club like their own club. The new officers decide.
Credit
Sponsors and mentors can get credit when the district and World Headquarters record the work. Mentors and a charter officer sign a Get Credit form after six months. Email cgd@d50tm.org to confirm how credit is recorded.
