January is National Mentoring Month, a time to recognize the powerful role mentors play in shaping lives. Studies show mentorship improves academic outcomes, confidence, and career success – yet millions of young people don’t have a mentor. We’re discussing why mentorship matters, the impact it can have on communities, and how investing your time and support today can help shape tomorrow’s leaders. My guests this evening have already answered the call and they are looking for others to join them.
