Sounds like a great project. I'm currently working to encourage local callers, suppose you could call it mentoring. A couple of them quite actively. Also have mentored to some degree long-distance. The long distance bit mainly is providing resources and being available to discuss upcoming gigs and what they might expect. I also help them to get gigs through my contacts. I think a long distance mentor should be willing to make themselves available for confidential discussions. Another aspect would be to travel to do a workshop, then remotely advise and mentor the attendees.
