National Mentoring Month / O Mês da atividade conhecida em Portugal como 'Mentoring'

Mentoring have an almost twenty year history. The field is sophisticated and entrepreneurial, and President George W. Bush has endorsed the campaign by proclaiming January as "National Mentoring Month", since 2002. The declaration has been endorsed by both chambers of the United States Congress.

Participants in the National Mentoring Month campaign include leading nonprofit Organizations and numerous Governors and Mayors. Designated nonprofit and governmental agencies are responsible for coordinating local campaign activities in communities across the country, including media outreach and volunteer recruitment. Local lead partners include state and local affiliates of MENTOR / National Mentoring Partnership, Corporation for National and Community Service, Points of Light Foundation and Volunteer Center National Network, America's Promise, Big Brothers Big Sisters of America, Communities in Schools, and United Way of America.

A highlight of the campaign is "Thank Your Mentor Day", in which Americans thank and honor their Mentors - people are encouraged to contact their Mentors directly to express appreciation, or to become a Mentor in their own community, to make a financial contribution to a local mentoring program, or to simply post a tribute on WhoMentoredYou.org.

Colin Powell was the lead spokesperson for National Mentoring Month, in 2009, as President Barack Obama agreed to be featured in a print ad in support of National Mentoring Month the same year.

The UK's National Mentoring Day was launched to recognize the significant benefits of mentoring across the UK and takes place on October 27th each year, since 2015.

More than just shared interests, new study highlights the importance of engaged listening, an article by the International Mentoring Archives, The Chronicle of Evidence-Based Mentoring.

Be someone who matters, to someone who matters.
