By focusing national attention on the need for mentors, as well as how each of us can work together to increase the number of mentors, we assure brighter futures for our young people. When you serve as a mentor, you enrich your own life as much as you do the life of a child. Mentoring leads to new experiences, new connections, new insights, and new satisfactions.

National Mentoring Month is the time each year when our nation officially shines
a spotlight on the importance of mentors and the need for every child to have a
caring adult in their life.
Together, the Harvard School of Public Health, MENTOR, and the Corporation for National and Community Service are working to focus national attention on the need for mentors. If we - individuals, businesses, government agencies, schools, faith communities and nonprofits - can work together to increase the number of mentors, we assure brighter futures for our young people.
