It also acknowledges the valuable role that mentors play in providing guidance, support, and encouragement to young people as they navigate the challenges of adolescence.
In addition to recognizing the importance of mentoring, the resolution calls on individuals, schools, businesses, and community organizations to support and promote mentoring programs in their communities. It also encourages the President to issue a proclamation recognizing January 2025 as National Mentoring Month and calling on all Americans to participate in mentoring activities.
Overall, Bill 119 H.Res. 160 aims to raise awareness about the benefits of mentoring and to inspire individuals to make a positive difference in the lives of young people through mentorship.
