Recognizing January 2026 as "National Mentoring Month".

House Resolution 1047 proposes to formally designate January 2026 as National Mentoring Month. The measure aims to raise public awareness about the positive impact that mentors have on the lives of young people and to encourage more citizens to volunteer as mentors in their communities. By recognizing this month, the resolution seeks to honor the contributions of current mentors and promote programs that provide guidance and support to youth.

As a non-binding resolution, this measure does not have the force of law and would not create new government programs or mandates. Instead, it serves as a formal statement of support from the House of Representatives. If passed, its primary impact would be to provide a symbolic platform for organizations and individuals to celebrate mentoring relationships and advocate for increased investment in youth development initiatives across the country.
