angelbuddy

Dear Cyberangels Member,

We would like to take a moment to introduce Cyberangels newest program to you. We need you to make this program work. No matter what division you are now in, or what your present job in Cyberangels is, you can also be an AngelBuddy!

This program will not be a large consumer of your valuable time. We ask that you spend a little time each week talking with the trainee to whom you are assigned, answering the trainee's questions and giving them guidance where needed. This will all be done via email, ICQ or chat, whichever is most convenient for you and the trainee.

This program depends on YOU, the trained Cyberangel, to lend a hand to a new trainee to make them feel welcomed and to be certain they don't get lost along the way through their training. You will be someone they can trust to come to with questions, and for support and friendship.

Do you remember your first days as a Cyberangel? How about your first exposure to IRC and the world of chat in general? For many of our new trainees, the chat experience is a new and frightening one. They don't know what mIRC is, they have no clue about emoticons, PMs, "peer" or any of the other chat-related lingo and protocols that you and I now take for granted. It only takes a few moments of caring to give someone a needed answer or a "handy tip" that will instill within them the confidence to take the next step, and then the next... until suddenly they find themselves looking back at those first frightening days and are fondly remembering the angel who guided them along their way.

New trainees often live in countries where English is not their primary language, which makes this new experience even more intimidating as they try so hard to fit in, when they barely understand it all. These trainees need a special friend from their own homeland and time zone, who can "take them under their wing" and make them feel "at home" in their new surroundings. We always do our best to take these things into consideration and our Buddies are usually assigned to their trainees according to region, time zone, and language.

Here is your opportunity to really make a difference in the Cyberangels Community. Share your love for Cyberangels with a helping hand and a very small time commitment...and make a new friend in the process!

Make a difference in a new trainee's first exposure to the Cyberangels Team - a difference they'll never forget! Volunteer to be an AngelBuddy Today.

Contact Angelvoice at [email protected] for a questionnaire which will be used to help us get to know you as well as to team up the trainees with their AngelBuddy! Help pave the path of confidence for all new and future Cyberangels. You can and will make a difference in this organization just by being the very thing that our namesake implies...an angel!

We sincerely hope you will join us!
