Telementor Guide

What can mentors get out of telementoring? Over the past decade, we have enabled hundreds of adult volunteers to mentor students via email or computer conferencing. They have offered advice and guidance to middle and high school students undertaking ambitious research that cultivates their abilities to define and pursue problems of understanding independently. Telementoring has provided these adult volunteers with unique opportunities for personal growth and development, opportunities to learn more about themselves, to give something back to the community, and to help shape the world we live in for the better.
