Key Points
The Senate officially recognized January 2025 as National Mentoring Month to highlight the importance of adults who volunteer to guide and support young people.
The resolution aims to raise awareness about the "mentoring gap," noting that about one-third of American youth are growing up without a mentor outside of their home.
Mentoring is credited with helping students improve their grades, stay in school, and avoid risky behaviors like drug use while also supporting their mental health.
This action encourages government agencies, schools, and private businesses to work together to expand mentoring programs for underserved communities and foster youth.
