The program is important to both the leadership mentors and mentees, said Lindsay Hastings, research director for the program. So when COVID-19 paused many in-person activities, she and others figured out a way to keep the program going.

“NHRI’s Canvas platform provides one-on-one ideas for mentoring pairs by age of the leadership mentee and then by topic area,” said program director Hannah Sunderman. “There are 20 topic areas per age group, of strengths, values, empathy and get-to know-you questions.” Nebraska Today
