Recognizing January 2023 as National Mentoring Month: Promoting Youth Support.

The resolution highlights that quality mentoring boosts academic achievement, mental health, career exploration, and reduces juvenile delinquency. It encourages citizens and institutions to support and expand mentoring programs to close the gap, as one in three youth currently lacks a mentor.
