Online Mentoring

"Kids today are digital natives. Their comfort level with building relationships online is through the roof. What we find is that the technology is such a leveler -- that the kids are not afraid to ask (mentors) the questions they really want to know: 'How much money do you make? … How many hours do you have to sit there at a desk?” ~ Kate Schrauth, I Could Be http://www.cnn.com/2011/10/25/tech/web/online-mentoring/

Online Mentoring

Research from Drexel University found the results of online mentoring was largely positive…

Online mentoring "can serve as an effective and viable option to the more traditional face-to-face model…"

~ Journal of Vocational Behavior http://www.cnn.com/2011/10/25/tech/web/online-mentoring/

Online Mentoring

“Online mentoring occurs when a mentor and mentoree are connected in an area of felt need. Online mentors empathize and communicate with remote visitors. The mentor provides resources, shares hope and gives spiritual direction to the person they are ministering to. The whole interaction takes place through email, which provides endless possibilities for reaching people all over the world on any schedule.”
