Mentoring Movement to Tap the Potential in Young People
January is National Mentoring Month, a nationwide campaign dedicated to celebrating and elevating the mentoring movement. Kicking off the campaign, MENTOR: The National Mentoring Partnership is celebrating the power of relationships with the video “Because You Mentored Me,” showing from the adult perspective what is possible when young people grow up with mentors. The video highlights how mentoring in real life can boost confidence, build bridges, and tap potential in young people, including the 9 million youth growing up without a mentor outside their family. Check out MENTOR’s YouTube channel for more of the organization’s videos.Interning/Mentoring Academic Achievement
