I agree! In education, we find that offering youth a combination of regular scheduled video calls and/or scheduled group chats (synchronous), with email, unscheduled contact, or platforms that can be accessed at any time (asynchronous), provides youth with the flexibility they need. I found this resource offers some useful strategies for e-mentoring. On page 10 there is a typology of e-mentoring programs by technology use.

– Weekly or bi-weekly check ins via email with open ended questions.
– Sharing resources/workshops that may be of their interest.
– Virtual bookclubs and other group activities that create a routine and help them develop a virtual community.
