January is National Mentoring Month
We were recently selected as local lead nonprofit partner for National Mentoring Month by the National Mentoring Partnership. As local lead partner, BBBSLA is responsible for coordinating community activities to take maximum advantage of National Mentoring Month.
Now in its 11th year, National Mentoring Month focuses 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 to assure brighter futures for young people. Together, the Harvard School of Public Health, MENTOR: The National Mentoring Partnership and the Corporation for National and Community Service are working to focus national attention on the need for mentors. This year's National Mentoring Month theme is Invest in the future. Mentor a child.
For over 50 years we have worked to provide mentors for at-risk children and currently support more than 1500 active matches in our Community Based, School Based and Workplace Mentoring Programs.
