E-Mentoring
Between workshops, mentees will keep in contact with their mentor via online chat. Mentees will be given topics at the workshops to take home to think about and discuss online with their mentor. This also gives mentees an opportunity to discuss issues with their mentor privately, away from the group sessions.
