A Time to Amplify and Expand Mentoring Opportunities for the Nation's Young People

BOSTON - January 3, 2023 - (Newswire.com)

January is National Mentoring Month, a time for Americans to celebrate the power of relationships, drive meaningful change, and expand quality mentoring opportunities for the nation's youth.

One in three young people are growing up in the U.S. without a mentor, and over the past few years, this gap has persisted as the nation is building back after COVID-19. Without mentors in their lives, the unprecedented challenges young people experience — including a national emergency in children's mental health — are only exacerbated. It is the responsibility of adults to respond with urgency and become a mentor. 

MENTOR Chief Impact Officer Tim Wills says, "As we build back from a pandemic that disconnected so many of our young people from important relationships in schools and their communities, we have a keen awareness of the power of mentoring to help youth form identities, feel seen and heard, and forge their own paths to success. National Mentoring Month is our call to action for caring adults in our nation to step up and become a mentor to ensure every young person has someone they can call on." 

MENTOR's research shows that when young people have a mentor, they are 75% more likely to say they held a leadership position in a club or sports team and 92% more likely to volunteer regularly in their communities. Adults who were mentored as youths are more than twice as likely to serve as mentors themselves because they know the power of these relationships. 

This National Mentoring Month, MENTOR and the mentoring movement are encouraging adults to volunteer as mentors. To find a local program,  go to the Mentoring Connector, the only national database of mentoring programs. Take action and join the growing mentoring movement today.

This Thursday, March 28th, Scholars will celebrate the grand opening of its new location in Mandeville, Louisiana. The event begins at 11:30 a.m. and will take place at 1901 U.S. Hwy 190, STE 27, Mandeville, La.

Scholars is proud to be cutting the ribbon of its second location in New Orleans. This week’s event will also feature some NFL star power as Cam Jordan of the New Orleans Saints will be making an appearance. Renowned throughout the NFL for his ferocious and creative pass-rushing, Cam, the Saints all-time sack leader and 8x pro-bowler, is both a student of the game of football and a big believer in the importance of education off the field. Cam will meet and inspire the students and families of the community alongside Scholars CEO Matt Baxter and other special guests. 

The event is free to attend and will feature giveaways, food from local vendors, face painting, pictures, games, and other surprises.

Scholars of Mandeville owner Ryan Fitzsimmons is excited to give back to his community and to provide students in the area with world-class tutoring. “I’m always willing and able to help kids,” Fitzsimmons said. “I’m a huge believer in Scholars because I’ve seen it work. It’s really amazing and I’m excited to be a part of it.” 

Scholars' first Louisiana location was opened in 2021 by another NFL star, 5x Pro Bowl Offensive Tackle Terron Armstead. Scholars of New Orleans has brought the joy of success in school to hundreds of students over the past three years and provides the template which Ryan Fitzsimmons seeks to follow.

Scholars, which is celebrating its 25th anniversary in 2024, has over 80 locations across North America. It uses its world-class curriculum and programming coupled with qualified, caring teachers to provide exceptional tutoring services for students of all ages. It has won the Canadian Franchise Association’s Franchisees’ Choice Award for nine consecutive years, while also boasting the Franchisee of the Year Award in 2023.
