Whereas mentors serve as role models, advocates, friends,
and advisors to young people in need;
Whereas numerous studies document that mentors help
young people augment social skills, enhance emotional
well-being, improve cognitive skills, and plan for the fu-
ture;
Whereas, for some children, having a caring adult mentor to
turn to for guidance and encouragement can make the
crucial difference between success and failure in life;
Whereas, 17.6 million young people, nearly half the youth
population, want or need mentors to help them reach
their full potential;
Whereas there exists a large ‘‘mentoring gap’’ of unmet
needs, with only 2.5 million youth in formal mentoring
relationships, leaving 15 million young people still in need
of mentors;
Whereas the celebration of National Mentoring Month will in-
stitutionalize the Nation’s commitment to mentoring and
raise awareness of mentoring in its various forms;
Whereas a month-long focus on mentoring will tap into the
vast pool of potential mentors and motivate adults to
take action to help a young person;
•HRES 25 EH
Whereas National Mentoring Month will encourage organiza-
tions of all kinds, including businesses, faith commu-
nities, government agencies, schools, and more, to engage
their constituents in mentoring;
Whereas the celebration of National Mentoring Month would
above all encourage more people to volunteer as mentors,
to the benefit of the Nation’s children; and
Whereas on January 2, 2003, President George W. Bush
signed a proclamation naming January 2003 as National
Mentoring Month and called upon the people of the
United States to recognize the importance of being role
models for youth, to look for mentoring opportunities in
their communities, and to celebrate this month with ap-
propriate ceremonies, activities, and programs: Now,
therefore, be it
Resolved, That the House of Representatives—
(1) commends those who give their time and talents

mental, and social impairments;
Whereas recent census data show that almost 13,000,000
children in the United States live in families experiencing
hunger or food insecurity;
Whereas the problem of hunger and food insecurity can be
found in rural, suburban, and urban America, touching
nearly every American community;
Whereas although substantial progress has been made in re-
ducing the incidence of hunger and food insecurity in the
United States, certain groups, including the working
poor, the elderly, homeless people, children, migrant
workers, and Native Americans remain vulnerable to hun-
ger and the negative effects of food deprivation;
Whereas the people of the United States have a long tradition
of providing food assistance to hungry people through
acts of private generosity and public support programs;
Whereas the Federal Government, through Federal food as-
sistance programs such as the Federal Food Stamp Pro-

assisting hungry and food insecure people;

Whereas a diverse group of organizations, including Amer-

Resolved, That the House of Representatives supports
the efforts of organizations such as Second Harvest to pro-
