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.
