across the youth mentoring movement, including mentoring program staff, volunteer mentors, funders, researchers and public officials who have seen firsthand the positive impact a caring adult mentor can have in the life of a young person.</p> <p>Advocates participating in Capitol Hill Day must travel to DC for an in-person training and meeting and networking with peers from across the country on Tuesday, Jan. 28. This year, advocates will hear from young people, elected leaders and a panel of Congressional staff about the impact they will have while participating in this critical advocacy event.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="container pad-y-5"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-sm-12 col-xl-12 col-xxl-12 ml-auto mr-auto"> <h2 class="wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-mentor-soft-blue-color has-text-color"><strong><strong>Capitol Hill Day Resources</strong></strong></h2> <div class="wp-block-image is-style-rounded"> <figure class="alignright size-large is-resized"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="768" src="https://www.mentoring.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/Picture12chd-1024x768.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-46476" style="width:440px;height:auto" srcset="https://www.mentoring.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/Picture12chd-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https://www.mentoring.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/Picture12chd-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.mentoring.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/Picture12chd-768x576.jpg 768w, https://www.mentoring.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/Picture12chd.jpg 1049w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure></div> <p></p> <p class="has-text-align-center"></p> <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li class="has-medium-font-size"><strong><a href="https://www.mentoring.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/CHD-In-Person-Training-2024.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">In-person Capitol Hill Day Training Slides</a></strong></li> <li class="has-medium-font-size"><strong><a href="https://www.mentoring.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/CHD-Virtual-Training-2024.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Virtual Capitol Hill Day Training Slides</a></strong></li> <li class="has-medium-font-size"><strong><a href="https://www.mentoring.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Youth-Mentoring-Grant-One-Pager.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Youth Mentoring Grant One Pager</a></strong></li> <li class="has-medium-font-size"><strong><a href="https://www.mentoring.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/NMRC-One-Pager.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">National Mentoring Resource Center One Pager</a></strong></li> <li class="has-medium-font-size"><strong><a href="https://www.mentoring.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Benefits-of-Youth-Mentoring-Talking-Points-October-2023-Update.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Youth Mentoring Talking Points</a></strong></li> </ul> </div> </div> </div> <div class="container-fluid p-0 pad-y-5 gray-blue-bg"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-sm-12 col-xl-8 col-xxl-8 ml-auto mr-auto"> <ul class="accordion "> <li class="accordion-item open"> <header class="accordion-title"> <strong>What can I do before January to support mentoring policy efforts?</strong> <i class="fal fa-plus"></i> <i class="fal fa-minus"></i> </header> <div class="accordion-content"> <p>There are a number of ways you can get involved and take positive, effective action throughout the calendar year to support expanding youth mentoring opportunities and invest in quality, evidence-based practices that support young people:</p> <ul> <li><strong><a href="https://www.mentoring.org/advocacy/?vvsrc=%2fregister" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sign up to receive MENTOR’s monthly government relations newsletter</a>.</strong> We spotlight practices, tools and resources to support your policy and advocacy efforts.
