An Idea to Help Our Newest Members Thrive

Hey Everyone,
One of the best things about Wealthy Affiliate is the incredible community. The willingness of everyone to jump in, answer questions, and offer support on the public forums is truly what makes this platform so special.
Even with such a supportive environment, we all remember what it's like to be new. The initial learning curve can feel steep, and the sheer amount of information can be overwhelming. Sometimes, a new member might get stuck on a lesson or have a question but feel a bit shy about posting it publicly. We all know that learning involves trial and error, but sometimes that process can feel a lot like failure, causing them to hesitate.
To help our newest members build confidence and stay focused, I want to create an additional layer of support: a volunteer contact list.

This list would be a directory of experienced members who are willing to talk one-on-one with newcomers. It's a simple idea: in my welcome campaign emails, I'd include a short list of trusted members and say, "When you get stuck, feel free to send a private message (PM) to someone on this list."
This would give a new member a specific person to turn to for advice, whether it's to ask about the training, get a second opinion on a "shiny new tool" before they buy it, or simply touch base with someone who has been there before.
To be clear, this initiative is designed to complement our amazing open forums, not replace them. It's simply another tool in our toolbox to help ensure every single person who joins WA has the best possible chance to succeed.
This is where I need your help.
I'm looking for community members who would be willing to have their names on this contact list. If you enjoy helping others and would be open to receiving a PM from a new member now and then, please let me know. Likewise, if you know someone who would be a perfect fit for this, please suggest them!
Thank you for helping me with this initiative. Together, we can make the journey for our new members even smoother and more successful.
Respectfully, Kundi
