January 1st marks the start of National Mentoring Month! Please use this month as an opportunity to thank your mentors for their hard work and willingness to make a difference in the lives of our youth. This year we’re highlighting the “Be there.” movement in an effort to recruit more mentors while thanking mentors for being there for their mentors.
For information on the national campaign created by MENTOR, please click here.
We have a number of resources you can use to recognize your mentors and show your support for the TeamMates Mentoring Program. Our customizable toolkit is perfect for coordinators, board members, and passionate mentors! Download our National Mentoring Month Toolkit Instruction Guide.
Want to get social? Follow us on Facebook and Twitter! On January 4th, take a picture with the Be There Social Media Poster and write why you’re “being there” for someone else! Tag us on social media or use #BeThere.
