Connect us with Two People Who Know You Well for Confidential Character References
Volunteer character references for Infinite Family are designed to create successful mentorship matches. Ideally, one of your references will be a friend and one will be someone who has worked with you, either now or in the past. Your references will answer nine questions via a confidential online reference form. These questions will help us “see you” through the eyes of people that know you well. The better we get to know you, the better we will be able to make a good match for you and your Net Buddy.
Infinite Family will not share or sell your references’ contact information to third parties. At the end of the confidential questionnaire, we will invite your references to join our email newsletter mailing list. We will not add your confidential references to our email newsletter outreach without their consent.
Please send the following link to your references so they can complete the questionnaire:

Following our phone or Skype conversation, we will send you information and links to access Infinite Family’s Online/Anytime Training for Video Mentors. This training prepares you to be a great Video Mentor.
Some of the topics covered include:
- Introduction to South Africa
- The Challenges Teens Face and Stage of Adolescence
- The HIV/AIDS Epidemic in South Africa and How to Deal with Grief and Mourning
- The Video Mentor’s Role and Impact
- Infinite Family’s Mentoring Model
These online/anytime sessions are between 10-40 minutes long and take 2.5 hours to complete. While you watch the training videos whenever it is most convenient for you, the Infinite Family team is available to answer your questions at every step of the process.
Following the online/anytime session there is one live webinar training to introduce you to Infinite Family’s EzNet video mentoring platform. This session usually takes about one hour – but we will work with you until you are comfortable and ready.
Attend a Final Online Live Training Session
The last step before meeting your Net Buddy mentee is an online live training session where you will have a chance to ask more questions of Infinite Family’s staff and meet other mentor candidates.
We will take you through the features of our video conference room and provide you with examples of activities that you can use in your conversations with your Net Buddy.
