Thank Your Mentor Day* January 21

As a highlight of National Mentoring Month 2010, Thank Your Mentor Day™ will be celebrated January 21. On that day, many Americans will reach out to thank or honor those individuals who encouraged and guided them, and had a lasting impact on their lives.

Thank Your Mentor Day promotes “Four Ways to Honor Your Mentor”:

  1. Contact your mentor directly to express your appreciation;

  2. Pass on what you received by becoming a mentor to a young person in your community;

  3. Make a financial contribution to a local mentoring program; and,

  4. Write a tribute to your mentor for posting on the "Who Mentored You?" Web site.

You can download a Thank you card from the Campaign Marketing Materials page.

*Thank Your Mentor Day™ is an initiative of the Harvard School of Public Health.
