Each January, MENTOR unites communities for National Mentoring Month. We are proud to join MENTOR by amplifying the voices of three of our AmeriCorps service members this month.
Amplify Change This National Mentoring Month
Imagine a world where young people feel empowered, inspired, encouraged, and understood; where they believe in their abilities to thrive no matter the circumstance. That world is a reality for many young people throughout the nation and is made possible through mentoring. Each January, MENTOR hosts National Mentoring Month as a chance for communities to recognize the various ways in which mentoring can positively impact lives.

In 1994, Congress designated the Martin Luther King Jr. Federal Holiday as a national day of service and, fittingly, charged CNCS with leading this effort.
