"Mentoring the next generation"

A little over a month ago I signed-up to volunteer as a mentor on icouldbe.org. They are an online mentoring network self-described as:

icouldbe.org is an award-winning non-profit organization that mentors teenagers to successfully transition from high school to college and/or their chosen career path. As a premiere e-mentoring program, icouldbe.org provides a secure online community where adults representing hundreds of careers, and students find each other.

Signing-up required a donation of $3 toward a background-check and verification of employment in my current position. I am still waiting for the processing and setup of my account to be finished and will be writing a follow-up article with details on my mentoring experiences through this organization.
