January is National Mentoring Month

January is National Mentoring Month--a time to celebrate these great friendships whether they're through formal mentoring programs, informal friendships with a youth on your block, or a friend to a co-worker's son or daughter.  For 12 years communities throughout the nation having taken time in January to thank those who are mentors and to ask others to step up.  Many people can reminisce about someone or several people who helped them as a youngster.
