Hi [Mentor name],

I'm [Your name], one of the mentees you accepted onto your [Project title] project! I wanted to check in and coordinate next steps for onboarding onto the project. Could you let me know:

1. Your availability for a first meeting. I'm available [Insert dates] at [Insert times].
2. The primary method of communication we'll use for this project.
3. Any expectations I should be aware of (e.g. hours you'd like me to commit, readings I should look over, tools I should be using).

I'm excited to hear about the next steps for this project. I look forward to working with you!

Best,

[Your name]
