National Mentoring Month (NMM) is the time each year when our nation spotlights the importance of mentors and the need for every child to have a caring adult in his or her life. This year's National Mentoring Month, themed Expand Your Universe, Mentor a Child, focuses on developing ways to mobilize more community volunteers to mentor a young person and increasing knowledge about how mentoring can greatly enhance their prospects for leading a healthy and productive life.
