On this #MotivationMonday and final day of National #MentoringMonth, I’d like to thank a few of the incredible role models who have helped me become the leader I am today, including my predecessor, Congressman John Lewis. Who is your mentor? Tell me how they've inspired you⬇️

By connecting young people with caring adults, #MentoringAmplifies positive youth development.

You can celebrate #MentoringMonth and help support the next generation of leaders by becoming a mentor today!

mDuring #MentoringMonth, we amplify the tangible effects of mentoring. With a mentor, young people are:
📚 52% less likely to skip a day of school.
🤝 78% more likely to volunteer regularly.
⛹️ 130% more likely to hold a leadership position in a club or sports team.

It's an honor to be recognized by @MENTORnational with the Excellence in Mentoring Award for Public Service.

Mentoring is one of the greatest gifts we can give our next generation. It is vital to positive youth development, academic success, and connections to new opportunities.

I’m proud to support Rep. Mary Gay Scanlon (D-PA-5)’s resolution designating January as National #MentoringMonth because being a mentor has been one of the most valuable experiences in my life.

Today, during #MentoringMonth, I want to highlight @sonofasaint, an organization in #LA02 that is transforming the lives of young men who are fatherless due to their father's death or incarceration.

One in three young people in the US grow up without the critical positive impact of a mentor on their academic, personal + emotional well-being. I’m proud to cosponsor the National #MentoringMonth Resolution + the Foster Youth Mentoring Act so we can address the mentoring gap.

As Chair of the Youth Mentoring Caucus, I was proud to introduce a resolution in the House recognizing #MentoringMonth.

This month, we celebrate the positive impact of mentoring relationships and highlight the need for mentors in our communities.
