The COVID-19 pandemic changed the way workplaces, schools, and businesses operated. This research investigates how the COVID-19 pandemic affected mentoring programs in Nebraska. The research was guided by three questions. How did the COVID-19 pandemic affect communication between mentors and mentees? How did the COVID-19 pandemic affect mentoring relationships? How did COVID-19 impact mentees' and mentors' mental health? To answer these questions, 162 mentoring programs were sent a Qualtrics survey. Results indicated that communication levels between pairs declined as a result of communicating virtually. Mentoring relationships suffered due to the impersonal nature of online communication and the lack of personal interactions. Our results also indicate that agencies had increased concerns over the mental wellbeing of the population it served.
