Become an e-Mentor
eMentoring is a vehicle for young people and mentors to connect. It can also be used as an additional communication tool for those who ordinarily meet in person. Either way, eMentoring shares the goal of face-to-face mentoring: establishing a trusting, nurturing, positive relationship between the mentor and a young person.
The major benefit of this form of mentoring is that it can overcome some challenges associated with traditional, face-to-face involvement, especially the time commitments that prevent many adults from mentoring. eMentoring takes advantage of the ease, convenience and availability of the Internet, so it can also help young people deepen their understanding of the positive potential of online communications.
