National Mentoring Month

National Mentoring Month is an annual, high-profile campaign to draw attention to the need for more volunteer mentors to help America’s young people achieve their full potential.

This January, the Harvard Mentoring ProjectSchool of Public Health, MENTOR: The /National Mentoring Partnership, and the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) Highland Street Foundation are spearheading an effort to raise awareness of ways that individuals can lend their support to this important cause.

Mentoring is a central focus area for CNCS. Each of CNCS's main programs have made mentoring and working with youth from disadvantaged circumstances a priority.

CNCS offers an array of materials and resources related to mentoring, which you can find on Serve.gov.
