Thank you for supporting the Club M, Henry County Mentoring, youth program.

 

We hope that everyone had a great holiday season. We are looking forward to resuming our program in both Mount Pleasant and Winfield-Mount Union for 2nd semester.

 

We would also like to thank everyone who came out and showed support for our program at the school board meetings this month. We presented on January 12th to MPCSD School Board at their meeting and on January 14th to Winfield-Mount Union.

National Mentoring Month

National Mentoring Month celebrates mentoring and the positive effect it can have on young lives. Its goals are to:

  • Raise awareness of mentoring in its various forms.
  • Recruit individuals to mentor, especially in programs that have waiting lists of young people.
  • Promote the rapid growth of mentoring by recruiting organizations to engage their constituents in mentoring.

 

National Mentoring Month Events

"I am a Mentor Day" takes place on the second Thursday of the month. This year, it occurred on January 8. This day is for mentors to celebrate their role.

 

"Thank Your Mentor Day" takes place on the third Thursday of the month. This year, it is on January 15. On this day, mentees are encouraged to thank their mentors. Club M will be thanking our mentors for their commitment to our program during the month of January.
