Launched in 2002, MENTOR and the Harvard T.H. School of Public Health created National Mentoring Month to amplify, encourage, and strengthen mentorship for young people.</p> <p>From individuals to businesses to schools and everyone in between we can all work together to create more mentorship opportunities that foster passion and positivity for the next generation.</p> <p>A month-long celebration, the goals of National Mentoring Month are to:</p> <ul> <li>Raise awareness of mentoring in its various forms</li> <li>Recruit individuals to mentor, especially in programs that have waiting lists of young people</li> <li>Promote the rapid growth of mentoring by recruiting organizations to engage their constituents in mentoring</li> </ul> <p>For over twenty years, our national leaders work with local communities to organize events in their neighborhood, partner with local media outlets and officials to spread awareness, encouraging and help adults find and participate in mentorship opportunities.</p> <p>National Mentoring Month has garnered strong support from the U.S. President and members of Congress, with additional support from the Maya Angelou, Clint Eastwood, Senator John McCain, Quincy Jones, General Colin L. Powell, Cal Ripken Jr., Bill Russell and Usher.
