Referred to the House Committee on Education and Workforce.
This resolution is a nonbinding statement from the House of Representatives recognizing January 2025 as National Mentoring Month and highlighting the benefits of mentoring. It does not create law, change federal funding, or require action by the President or federal agencies. It simply expresses the House's views and encourages support and expansion of mentoring programs.
This House resolution designates January 2025 as National Mentoring Month and describes mentoring benefits.
It highlights mentoring’s positive effects on education, mental health, justice prevention, and career readiness, and calls for expanding quality mentoring programs.
The resolution recognizes mentors, encourages collaboration across public, private, and nonprofit sectors, and supports closing the “mentoring gap.” It is a non‑binding statement of recognition and encouragement, not an authorization of funding or regulation.
As a House simple resolution (expressive, nonbinding), it does not create law and therefore cannot become law on its own.
Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill functions as a straightforward commemorative resolution: it clearly states and justifies the recognition of January 2025 as National Mentoring Month through an extensive preamble and a set of declarative clauses, while providing little to no operational, fiscal, or enforcement detail, which is consistent with this type of legislative instrument.
