National Mentoring Month

Created by the Harvard School of Public Health and MENTOR, National Mentoring Month (NMM) is marking its ninth year in 2010. By focusing national attention on the need for mentors, as well as how each of us—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.

In 2009 www.nationalmentoringmonth.org was launched, providing a one-stop shop for National Mentoring Month.  The new website offers a history of the initiative, campaign videos, news and events, marketing materials, a zip-code search of mentoring programs, as well as a list of local and national activities.
