Mentoring Millennials
November 18, 2013
Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and freedom.

According to Jeanne Meister, in her article "Mentoring Millenials" in Harvard Business Review (May 2010; hbr.com), in just a few years millennials (those born between 1977 and 1997) will constitute nearly half of the global workforce. She notes that keeping them engaged may be no easy task -- they want their work to be personally fulfilling and connected to a larger purpose. She proposes three kinds of mentoring:
Reverse Mentoring: Millennial matched to an executive and learns by mentoring them.
Group Mentoring: One mentor works online with several mentees at a time taking advantage of community forums, group polling, and the like.
Anonymous Mentoring: Mentors and mentees are likely to be more candid in an anonymous environment -- exchanges are conducted entirely online and match mentees with mentors outside the organization.

Where does one find a place to sign up to mentor students? Are there requirements? I am a retired teacher/administrator and think I would enjoy this type of extension of my career.
