National Mentoring Month
January 28, 2010 – 7:27 am
I realize there are only a few days left, but did you know President Obama declared January National Mentoring Month? The goal is to urge Americans to help young people (especially those in single-parent households) grow up to be responsible, productive adults. In conjunction with the announcement, several mentor/mentee pairs, including a duo from our friends at The Mentoring Project (pictured above) were invited to a special ceremony at the White House.
The President also announced he and several of his top aids would be hosting their own mentoring program aimed at encouraging local D.C. area kids in education, career planning, and community service.
