Make a Difference in a Child's Life
October 15 marks the end of Hispanic Heritage month; let’s continue to honor the mentors and mentees of this vibrant community. This month also provides an opportunity to spotlight the guiding role that adults play in elevating mentorship in the education system and is a great time to raise crucial awareness about the impacts of the criminal justice system on youth.
There are many actionable ways to support the mentoring movement this month:
1. Celebrate the Latin American and Hispanic communities and elevate their voices through powerful mentoring stories.
2. Support youth involved in the justice system with the Youth Justice Action Month Campaign.
3. Participate in #NationalPrincipalsMonth and celebrate the leaders in your local school system.
4. Collaborative Mentoring Webinar Series: Mentoring and Supporting Young People's Mental Health and Well-Being.
