In response to COVID-19 restrictions, Voces Vitales Costa Rica (VVCR) shifted their operations online. Our goal was to evaluate and identify improvements to their virtual mentorship program to provide the most benefits to their network. Through interviews and surveys, we gathered experiences with online mentoring and course structure to provide recommendations for VVCR’s virtual mentoring and certification course. We then created a Virtual Mentoring Guide on conducting mentoring sessions online and provided recommendations that VVCR can implement to increase mentor retention and build a stronger network throughout the organization.
