Young Lawyers eMentoring Magnet Students

[Frisco1232 at AOL.COM]

Hello:

My name is Justin Elegant and I write to tell you about our eMentoring
program (now in its second year) in an effort to inspire more school
officials to get busy young professionals involved in education.

In summary, we have created a telementoring program pairing 57 young
lawyers (Dade County Bar Assoc.) and 57 legal magnet students at Miami
Senior High.  This is the 1st program of its type in the United States.
The students  work individually with volunteer young lawyers.  By
communicating with students via email, these young lawyers are utilizing
the speed and ease of electronic communication to help their students
achieve academic excellence, improve communication skills and explore
career goals. . .  (the participants also meet face-to-face three to five
times during the school year and enjoy field trips together).  The kids are
really enjoying themselves.   Have a  great year and if this program
interests anyone, feel free to contact me for more information.
