MENTOR was first launched in 1990 to expand opportunities for young people to build positive mentoring relationships with adults outside of their families. The organization recognized that having a mentor can improve young people\u2019s academic, social, and economic prospects and works to close the mentoring gap that exists for 1 in 3 young people. In order to build those positive relationships, MENTOR recruits and provides training resources to potential mentors and links the right mentors to mentees across the nation.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>MENTOR launched National Mentoring Month in 2002 as a way to unify and expand mentoring efforts, as well as raise awareness about youth mentoring in the United States. Throughout January, there are a few days that are important to National Mentoring Month.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>January 9 &#8211; I Am A Mentor Day<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>January 15 &#8211; Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>January 17 &#8211; International Mentoring Day<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>January 25 &#8211; Thank Your Mentor Day<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Celebrate National Mentoring Month<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image wp-drop-shadow wp-rounded-corners\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qgiv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/celebrate-national-mentoring-month-1024x640.png\" alt=\"Woman high-fiving young mentee\" class=\"wp-image-32393\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qgiv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/celebrate-national-mentoring-month-1024x640.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.qgiv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/celebrate-national-mentoring-month-300x187.png 300w, https:\/\/www.qgiv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/celebrate-national-mentoring-month-768x480.png 768w, https:\/\/www.qgiv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/celebrate-national-mentoring-month.png 1050w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Spread awareness on social media&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the best ways to celebrate National Mentoring Month is to spread awareness of the month on social media. Thank your mentors and share their impact on your life with your family and friends. If you\u2019re a mentor, share stories from your mentoring experiences and what you\u2019ve learned from your mentees. Encourage your network to thank their own mentors and consider becoming mentors themselves!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Find an event to attend&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There are plenty of events that you can take part in throughout National Mentoring Month to mark the occasion and celebrate mentors everywhere.
