Telementor Guide

What can telementoring do for your employer? One driving force in telementoring which will become increasingly important in the future is organizational outreach. Many corporations, research labs and government agencies conduct outreach activities as part of their day-to-day work — through contests, broadcasts, or, increasingly, web-based events. Many of our volunteers may have been involved in events of this kind, but wanted a way to become more directly involved in students' intellectual development. Telementoring appealed to these professionals because it provided a convenient way to have this direct involvement. Most of our volunteers found that a few minutes each week was all they needed to provide adequate guidance to their mentees.
