Purpose: Most of the contemporary mass media and academic theses related to the children of new immigrants have focused on the shortcomings and weaknesses of such children. However, a considerable number of these children have already participated in educational programs for the gifted. Our study thus emphasized their potentials and strengths. We believe that we can provide more positive attention to this educational agenda and encourage practical actions such as providing long-term tutors to mentor these students as well as other forms of support for developing the special abilities and skills of these students. This process is a crucial step in transforming Taiwan into a multicultural society. Methods: This study involved 23 mentors and 36 gifted students among two elementary schools; one in Taipei City, and one in New Taipei City, as well as the parents of the gifted students. We established a year-long mentorship program to observe mentors and students in three types of settings: one-on-one interactions, group activities, and large classes. We conducted action research, which involved continually adjusting the program when we discovered any obstacles in interactions between mentors and students. Through direct observation, in-depth interviews, and the collection of relevant documentary materials, the research team analyzed the interaction processes and effects of the mentorship program. The research data were extensive, which included 46 interviews and observation periods of mentors, parents, and students; 32 learning records written by students; 23 reflection records on the mentorship program; five records from workshops; email communication records; Facebook messages; and various documents. The data were analyzed in four stages. First, all data were numbered according to resources and time. Second, the keywords were numbered. Third, conversing related units and composed to subtitle. Fourth, the essence and conceptual themes of the study were formulated according to extensive data analysis. Results: (1) To meet the needs of mentors, parents, and students, we adjusted the program continually through action research techniques. (2) These mentor-student interactions involved progressive, multidimensional teaching and learning strategies. (3) The mothers of the students were positive providers of educational resources. Conclusions and Implications: (1) This program broadened the sociocultural circle of the families of gifted students. (2) We emphasized the empowerment of these mentors and their processes of listening, looking, understanding, and sharing. Most of the mentors were from nonimmigrant families and were shocked by the substantial differences between their own childhood experiences and those of their students. Their participation in this program thus reshaped their ideas on mentorship. (3) Most mentors, parents, and students responded positively to this program and were interested in continuing their participation.
