In honor of National Mentoring Month, the mayors of the City of Jasper and the City of Huntingburg have jointly proclaimed January 2025 as Mentors for Youth Month. This recognition celebrates the invaluable role that mentorship plays in the development of young people in our community, as well as the dedicated mentors who provide guidance, support, and inspiration to help young individuals reach their potential.
The proclamations highlight the importance of mentoring and emphasize that there are many ways to get involved with Mentors for Youth of Dubois County. The public is invited to join the effort by supporting Mentors for Youth in a variety of capacities, including applying to mentor, volunteering at events, serving on committees, and making financial contributions.
Mentoring is vital to helping youth build confidence, achieve goals, and foster positive growth.
