9. 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?”

11. 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.”
