                Proclamation 10878 of December 31, 2024

                
National Mentoring Month, 2025

                By the President of the United States of America

                A Proclamation

                Leading by the power of their example, mentors 
                represent the very best of America's spirit of 
                community and care for one another. During National 
                Mentoring Month, we honor all the Americans who give 
                their time and their hearts to mentor our Nation's 
                young people.

                My Administration has been committed to giving youths 
                the resources they need to thrive, including by 
                ensuring students feel supported and have opportunities 
                to connect to meaningful mentors. My American Rescue 
                Plan secured a record $130 billion for K-12 schools, 
                putting more teachers, counselors, social workers, and 
                staff in our schools, who are so often our young 
                people's first mentors. And that law gave AmeriCorps 
                funding to support new mentors and volunteers who can 
                serve our communities. Moreover, my Administration 
                created the National Partnership for Student Success, 
                which recruited more than 300,000 tutors and mentors to 
                help young people reach their full potential, as well 
                as student success coaches and postsecondary transition 
                coaches. We also called on colleges and universities to 
                use at least 15 percent of their Federal work study 
                funds to assist their students in serving as mentors 
                and other critical volunteer roles that support our 
                Nation's children and youth.

                At the same time, my Administration recognizes the 
                value of mentorship in the workplace, and Registered 
                Apprenticeships not only help provide it, they also 
                produce some of the best workers in the world. That is 
                why I am proud to have worked with labor unions and 
                made historic investments in pre-apprenticeship and 
                Registered Apprenticeship programs that provide the 
                training and skills necessary to get a good job and 
                launch a fulfilling career. My Administration also 
                launched the American Climate Corps to put over 20,000 
                Americans to work in fast-growing green sectors like 
                clean energy and conservation.

                I have often said that we are a great Nation because we 
                are a good people. During National Mentoring Month, we 
                honor all the good people across our Nation, who are 
                helping young people find direction, grow, and tap into 
                our Nation's unlimited possibilities. As so many 
                mentors know, being a mentor can be a transformative 
                and enriching life experience. I encourage every 
                American--whether you are a college student, community 
                leader, or person hoping to make a difference--to 
                explore opportunities to mentor or tutor by visiting 
                americorps.gov/serve and partnershipstudentsuccess.org.

                NOW, THEREFORE, I, JOSEPH R. BIDEN JR., President of 
                the United States of America, by virtue of the 
                authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws 
                of the United States, do hereby proclaim January 2025 
                as National Mentoring Month. I call upon Americans 
                across the country to observe this month with 
                mentoring, appropriate ceremonies, activities, and 
                programs.

                IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this

                the United States of America the two hundred and forty-
                ninth.
