What Is National Mentoring Month?
National Mentoring Month is a month-long series of events designed to raise awareness of mentoring among young people and adults. Launched jointly in 2002 by the Harvard School of Public Health and MENTOR National, NMM is now celebrated by for-profit and non-profit organizations, governments, and individuals worldwide.
Anyone can be a mentor. National Mentoring Month is a celebration of the human need for mentoring and its importance to growth.
