E-Mentoring

The E-Mentoring Program is a contemporary and innovative program that matches students with disabilities with mentors who have college and/or career experience. Students and mentors communicate through e-mail in this program. The students complete an online course which helps prepare them for their transition to work and/or college.

    • Mentoring Models - The E-Mentoring Program uses two models: Group listservs and one-to-one mentoring.
    • Email Systems - Secure and monitored email technologies used for student and mentor communication.
    • Netiquette - Rules for student and mentor email communication.
    • E-Mentoring Online Course - An online course for high school students who are supported by mentors.

    Students - Get matched with a mentor to help you transition from high school to college and/or work.

    Mentors - Enhance your own life experience and spread your knowledge by volunteering to become a mentor.
