Aboriginal eMentoring BC: Building Pathways to Health Careers for Aboriginal Youth
Aboriginal youth are under-represented in post-secondary education, particularly the health sciences, which represent some of the fastest growing career tracks in North America. With only 9% of Aboriginal students eligible for post-secondary education there are tremendous barriers to change. eMentoring is a new online mentoring program that will be launching in September 2011. This project will implement an online mentoring intervention for Aboriginal youth to support high school graduation and transitions into post-secondary health education programs. Using the Internet, eMentoring will connect youth with role models who will provide them with the support, knowledge and confidence they need to succeed in university.
One hundred mentor-mentee relationships will be established, developed and maintained in collaboration with www.icouldbe.org, an established eMentoring platform. Mentors will include UBC health science students and mentees will include urban and rural Aboriginal youth across British Columbia in grades 7-12. Mentor-mentee relationships will last a minimum of one year, and consist of semi-structured online discussions/activities.
We are currently recruiting mentors for the program. If you’re interested in being a mentor, please fill out the attached application form. For more information about the project, please visit www.eMentoringbc.com.
