January Is National Mentoring Month

There's no better way to start off the new year than helping a child reach his or her full potential. That's the idea behind National Mentoring Month.

Serve.gov is promoting the month's mentoring theme with a personal entreaty from General Colin Powell for Americans to become mentors in their own communities.
