MentorMe Project

As of this morning, I am officially a contributor of a project that I believe is of the utmost importance: the MentorMeProject. Where God takes the project itself is yet to be seen; there is a great heart behind the vision, and great potential behind the purpose, but as with everything in today’s internet culture, you never really know the effectiveness until it gets rolling.

But you cannot deny the need… consider an excerpt from “The DREAM” page:

The simple part is saying these words, the difficult part is putting these words into action.
Generation X (ages 27-41) and Y (ages 9-26) are called the connected generation. But more and more people are becoming disconnected and looking to connect.

Why do people consider these two generations connected? Because they have unlimited amounts of information? Because they have constant access to anyone? These two could be true on the surface, but serve as a poor way of being connected. There needs to be a redefinition of a connected generation before we move forward and connect with others.

We all can attest to the truth in the statements above. We are far more “connected” now than we have ever been, but to what level exactly are we connected? We have weaved a web that demands connectedness and community but forgotten at the core why community is so important. I am glad to partner and contribute along side of Kyle in his quest to see authentic, mentor-style relations borne out of the technology that is so readily available at our fingertips. The question is, can we move it beyond the web? Can we use the technology as a launching pad for something real and deeper? Perhaps…

So, read my post here, and join the conversation.
