Recognizing January 2026 as "National Mentoring Month".

The House would recognize January 2026 as National Mentoring Month and acknowledge the role mentoring plays in youth development — from academic achievement to career readiness. The resolution highlights that 9 million young Americans lack access to a mentor and calls on schools, businesses, nonprofits, and government to integrate mentoring into their programs. It also supports federal funding for evidence-based mentoring initiatives, noting that mentored youth are more likely to graduate, hold leadership positions, and volunteer in their communities.
