My question says it all. Are there any online resources for this? I would like to keep it something I could do one-on-one over the internet, through IM or email.

A:
High Schools contact a local one and tell them you are interested. Usually you can mentor them through a programming project and they will get credit.
You will get a ton of satisfaction helping a young student achieve something meaningful and you will promote the field of engineering (which is huge).
Best of luck.

yeah, same. Especially because someone from the industry will be able to offer an unparalleled level of perspective and wisdom (even someone without many years of experience).

Could actually teach a community college course and mentor tons of people at the same time.

A:
Your nearest college or university probably has a large "student services" apparatus which will include arrangements for "tutoring" or similar. They may or may not be flexible but for the chance to contribute where you live, it might be worth a try.
