Thought I’d share this recorded webinar resource for the wrap up today. Put it on while you’re working or “serve” it along with your lunch.
Cheers

I find that sometimes the challenge is not only where and when you connect with youth, but depending on how many youth are in your group, replying to the one-on-one youth-initiated conversations – that often happen between 10PM and 2AM.

Although youth are not quick or prompt with email replies they will often check emails within 14 to 21 days

MemberJune 27, 2020 at 10:01 am in reply to: Best Practices for Online Youth Engagement and MentorshipI 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.
