On January 21, 2010, in a White House ceremony marking January as National Mentoring Month, mentors and mentees from across America joined President Barack Obama and the First Lady in an effort to increase public awareness of the benefits of mentoring.
National Mentoring Month is a collaborative initiative of the Harvard School of Public Health, MENTOR, and the Corporation for National and Community Service. This year's campaign features a public service announcement by General Collin Powell and leverages the work of local and corporate partners to encourage more Americans to serve as mentors.
As President Obama has observed, "Every day, mentors in communities across our nation provide crucial support and guidance to young people." During National Mentoring Month, we honor their commitment and invite you to join them.
