NATIONAL MENTORING MONTH

What is National Mentoring Month?

National Mentoring Month is a national mentoring campaign spanning the month of January. During the month, focus is placed on driving awareness to the need for more mentors, the widespread impact of mentoring relationships, and all the important work being done to provide mentors for young people.

How to participate? Below is a brief overview of how you or your company can get involved.
