| Adoption is a voluntary mentoring program through which potential adoptees undergo a mentoring period in which they learn about the basics of Wikipedia, Wikiquette and how to best contribute to the encyclopedia. Adoption is for users who are still new and want to learn about the various aspects that are necessary in keeping Wikipedia accurate and free from offensive material which is damaging to the project and hinders the progress of the good-faith people who want to help and make the encyclopedia as whole an enjoyable learning environment.
For users with some experience the Admin Coaching program may be what you're looking for, this program is also a voluntary mentoring program. The only difference is this program is for users who have future aspirations to become administrators. Both programs are highly successful, users who participate in either program become more self-confident and gain valuable knowledge that will help them throughout their time on Wikipedia. Most former admin coachees are now administrators; with hard work one will reap the benefits. | ||
| What I look for in an adoptee is an eager, willing and positive attitude towards contributing to Wikipedia, every adoptee has different likes and dislikes as such my lessons are only the basic foundation of my program, I aim to teach each new Wikipedian the basics and try to help them along the way giving help along the way. I teach based on the interests of my adoptees, not mine.
There is no need to rush to complete tasks, adoptees should take their time so that they can progress steadily. That said there is nothing wrong with completeing a task early, so long as the adoptee learns that is what matters. In the end I am positive that my adoptees will learn more than from when they started. | ||

If you are interested in being adopted, please use the above sign up method and I will get back to you as soon as possible. If you wish to use the courses I provide please give the appropriate attribution since this is, after all, a wiki.
Courses
The following courses have been split into three groups, required, option and recommended. All adoptees will be required to complete the required lessons, choose and complete 2 optional lessons and 1 recommended lesson. These lessons are for the benefit of the adoptees, however, at the request of the adoptee I will change/add lessons based on their preferences and interests.
