Each year since the launch of National Mentoring Month in 2002, the campaign has enjoyed the strong support of the President and the United States Congress.
A scholarship is an AWESOME way to help a graduating Harrisburg High School District Senior. The program have accomplished a lot in 2021 towards its goal but still have a long way to go. As a community, will you take the pledge to help raise scholarship funds throughout January National Mentorship Month!
Research shows that mentors play a powerful role in providing young people with the tools to make responsible choices, attend and engage in school, and reduce or avoid risky behavior.
In turn, these young people are:
–55% more likely to be enrolled in college. –81% more likely to report participating regularly in sports or extracurricular activities.
–78% more likely to volunteer regularly in their communities.
–More than twice as likely to say they held a leadership position in a club or sports team.Yet, the same research shows that one in three young people in our country will grow up without a mentor.
National Mentoring Month is the time of year where engagement from community members interested in becoming a mentor is highest. To donate to the Harrisburg High School Class of 91 Alumni Scholarship Program visit: https://bit.ly/91Alumni
