"The Internet allows us to venture beyond our borders and explore opportunities and cultures around the world, but it also shows us how isolated we are and what we miss when we don't live within our traditional communities," says Jennifer Hicks, managing editor of the Village ezine. "For instance, if we work within the dominant culture we often find different values, curious customs, and unusual attention to timelines, profit margins, and competitive behaviors. The mentoring project hopes to alleviate this isolation and answer questions about lifestyle and career choices by connecting people with questions to indigenous people who can offer experienced advice." The project is looking for Native American men and women willing to spend two or three hours a month interacting with other indigenous peoples online. The mentors will form a kind of living library from which the less experienced could extract knowledge as needed. Each mentor will be an expert at something, acknowledged as having exceptional knowledge in one or more areas. They won't solve problems, but will be able to provide guidance to help questioners solve problems themselves. The Native American Village, part of the Minorities' Job Bank <http://www.minorities-jb.com>, is dedicated to providing career and self-development information to all minorities. MJB provides a large database of equal opportunity employers committed to workplace diversity and the ezines of its ethnic villages offer political, economic, spiritual, career, and self-development information from the perspective of each ethnic group. For more information or to volunteer as a mentor contact Jennifer Hicks, managing editor of the Native American Village Ezine at 617-244-9331 or via email at [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- ***Jordan S.
