Online learning is a struggle for everyone, but especially for low-income families. STEM Alliance's Virtual Mentors meet with students through Zoom video calls as part of a one-on-one mentoring program. Volunteers will help children in grades 1-8, navigate online learning, reinforce good digital learning routines, offer online homework support, and serve as a positive role model for students.
Virtual Mentors are high school students, college students, or adult volunteers who are passionate about helping children and who meet the following requirements:
- 16 years old or older
- Comfortable using a variety of technology platforms, such as Google Drive and Zoom
