Project Overview:
What is Virtual Mentoring?
Virtual Mentoring connects a trusted, caring adult with a youth 7-24 years old for at least one hour per week using Be A Mentor?s secure online platform.
Mentors and mentees:
- Focus on goal setting, study skills, and school support
- Talk about college, careers, and life skills (depending on the age of the youth you are matched with)
- Build a consistent, encouraging relationship through weekly check‑ins
Virtual mentoring:
- Removes barriers of distance and transportation
- Offers a more flexible schedule for both mentors and youth
Virtual Mentoring gives youth one‑on‑one attention and a safe space to be heard, helping them stay engaged in school, build confidence, and start to believe in a positive future.
Virtual Mentoring is life changing for youth!
