Starting in September, girls who have signed up for the program are matched with mentors who have similar interests. Girls can join any time through the year and they will still be matched with a mentor.  After being introduced, they start emailing inside the Cybermentor website and get to know each other. They email at least once a week, and follow simple guidelines for these introductory conversation.

When they are ready, usually within a few weeks, the girl and her mentor start to work on a progression of activities that help the participant get to know herself and her potential. Both fascinating and fun, the conversations that spring from these short activities help girls find out about their aptitude for working in math and technology areas, their own social and creative strengths, and what kind of careers in science and engineering might be choosing them!

At the end of May or early June, as the program winds up for the year, the girls and their families have the option of meeting their mentor in person at an annual year-end celebration, held in both Edmonton and Calgary.

Matches can continue for more than one year but often pairs are reassigned so that a broader range of experiences is available to all participants. There is no charge, and all information is exchanged behind a password-protected site. Mentors are carefully screened before they are accepted into the program.
