Virtual Volunteering Opportunities

[Daniel Bassill]

In the links section of www.tutormentorconnection.org I've a section 
titled "On-Line mentoring and volunteering."  You could direct individuals 
interested in virtual volunteering to that link.

I'd like to pose a question to those who offer virtual volunteering.  Do 
any of you have strategies that try to educate the volunteer in the issues 
of the community where the youth that you volunteer lives?  For instance, 
if the youth lives in an inner-city poverty neighborhood, to you attempt 
to show the volunteer the issues of poverty, such as access to jobs, poor 
health care, lack of work-mentors, poor schools, lack of non-school 
activities, etc?
