AGCS Internet Mentor Program
The Internet Mentor Program began in 1996 as an extension of an ongoing partnership
between
AG Communication Systems
and
Esperanza Elementary School.
The program matches employee mentors with fifth- and sixth-grade students who
communicate weekly via e-mail to strengthen the school-to-work connection, provide
students with positive adult role models from the community, increase students’
self-esteem, and improve students’ technology and communication skills.
Students and mentors meet during the year at AG Communication Systems and
Esperanza to strengthen this relationship. This project began as a pilot
with 12 mentors and students and now includes more than 200. After seven
years, each goal has been achieved and outcomes continue to exceed expectations.
