Abstract

Research affirms that mentoring enhances learning and personal growth. In C.A.M.P. Osprey at the University of North Florida, college students served as leadership mentors to K-12 students. To overcome geographic and financial barriers faced by high-poverty urban and rural partner schools, the program harnessed virtual mentoring through videoconferencing technology to connect K-12 students with their collegiate mentors.
