Show your support for National Mentoring Day! Join the movement and help build a brighter future for our youth with mentorship and guidance.
Get ready to celebrate National Mentoring Day on October 27th! This day has been around since 2008, when it was created by the Harvard School of Public Health to recognize the impact that mentorship can have in our lives. It's a great opportunity for those who are already mentors or who are interested in becoming one to come together and share experiences, stories, and advice with each other.
Give your time to an organization that works to match adult mentors with children and young adults in need of guidance. Helping others can be incredibly rewarding and a great way to celebrate National Mentoring Day.
Take some time to reconnect with those who have helped shape you into the person you are today. Reach out via email, a letter, or even better, give them a call. Let them know how much their guidance has meant to you.
Share inspiring stories from your own experiences or from those of others. Post on social media and spread awareness about the value of mentoring. You’ll be helping create a ripple effect for change.
Support organizations that work diligently to mentor those in need by making a financial contribution on National Mentoring Day or any day throughout the year.
Organize an event, such as a potluck dinner, get together at the park, or even online via Zoom or other video conferencing platforms, to bring together current and future mentors from your community.
One of the main reasons we love National Mentoring Day is that it recognizes the importance of mentorship. By having an experienced mentor in your life, you can gain confidence and insight on how to navigate any situation. With their advice and guidance, you are sure to develop personal growth and reach your goals.
Another great thing about National Mentoring Day is that it celebrates the bond between mentors and mentees. Through open communication and shared experiences, mentor/mentee relationships often form strong friendships that last a lifetime. These lifelong connections are invaluable in helping us all learn and grow!
National Mentoring Day encourages us all to think outside the box by seeking out different perspectives from our mentors. We can learn so much from those who have been in our shoes before, which can be incredibly inspiring when we need help making decisions or figuring out the best path forward.
