Recognizing January 2026 as "National Mentoring Month".
Sponsored By: Representative Scanlon
Introduced
Summary
National Mentoring Month would be recognized in January 2026 to raise awareness, recruit new mentors, and encourage institutions to adopt quality mentoring practices. The resolution says mentoring in schools, community programs, workplaces, and faith groups helps young people build social skills, self-esteem, academic success, and career plans. It highlights benefits for at-risk and underserved youth, including Alaska Native and American Indian young people, cites studies linking mentoring to better school and mental health outcomes, notes about 40 percent of young people lack a mentor, and calls for public, private, and nonprofit collaboration to expand relationship-centered supports.
