Key Points

Congress is officially recognizing January 2025 as a time to celebrate the positive impact of mentors. The resolution highlights how mentors help young people improve their grades, stay in school, and build the confidence they need to succeed in their future careers.
The resolution points out a "mentoring gap" in the United States, noting that one in three young people is growing up without a mentor. It calls for more teamwork between the government, businesses, and local groups to find more volunteers and resources for these children.
This action honors the volunteers and staff who work in mentoring programs across the country. It also emphasizes that mentoring is a powerful tool for improving mental health and helping kids avoid risky behaviors like drug use or violence.
