Bill > SRes600

This resolution recognizes January 2026 as "National Mentoring Month" to highlight the significant positive impact of mentoring relationships on young people. It acknowledges that quality mentoring fosters essential life skills, boosts self-esteem, improves academic and career prospects, and supports youth leadership development, benefiting individuals from diverse backgrounds, including underserved populations. The resolution emphasizes that mentoring occurs in various settings and through both formal and informal connections, and it underscores the need to address the "mentoring gap," where a substantial number of young people lack guidance from adults outside their homes. Furthermore, it commends the adults who serve as mentors and program staff, recognizing their role in helping youth reach their full potential, and it promotes the expansion of quality mentoring programs to equip young people for healthy and productive lives.
