National Mentoring Month

January is National Mentoring Month! This month, we invite our friends and supporters to join us in celebrating mentoring as well as the mentors that shaped us into champions of Dignity & Respect. Please share your stories of how you have witnessed mentoring improving the lives of young people around you. Or feel free to share your story of how a mentor helped you become the person you are today. A mentor can be a teacher, a colleague, even a parent or a friend. We want to hear from you, so join us as we celebrate mentors everywhere!

And if you are looking for other ways to help celebrate this month, check out these ideas courtesy of nationalmentoringmonth.org:

1. Become a mentor in your community.

2. Tell five friends about National Mentoring Month.

3. Think about the mentors in your life and post a tribute to them online

4. Go to YouTube on Thank Your Mentor Day (January 26th) and post a video

5. Research and learn more about the role mentoring has to help children succeed academically
