Your Playbook for National Mentoring Month

December 17 at 10 A.M. PT / 1 P.M. ET

National Mentoring Month is in January, and it’s a chance to spark connection, elevate voices, and support the growth of people across your organization. But creating that kind of impact takes more than a single announcement or email push. It takes a plan.

This webinar is designed to give mentorship champions a clear and practical playbook for making National Mentoring Month not just a campaign, but a catalyst. We’ll share thoughtful strategies to build momentum in January and then nurture engagement and strengthen your mentoring culture well into the year ahead.

What you’ll learn

• How to engage mentors and mentees early and set the tone for the year ahead
• Activities and communication plans that sustain momentum
• Ways to promote your mentoring program effectively and position mentoring as a driver of culture, performance and growth
• Ideas to set up your program (or refresh it) so that National Mentoring Month becomes a catalyst for year-long impact

Who should attend

• Anyone managing a mentoring program or planning to start one
• Leaders or managers seeking to use mentoring as a tool for engagement, retention, upskilling and building community
• Organizations that want mentoring to be more than a checkbox

Why now matters

Mentoring is no longer a “nice-to-have” — it is a strategic imperative:

• Workforce roles are shifting rapidly due to technology and AI; organizations must upskill and reskill to keep pace.
• Employees expect personalized development experiences; mentoring offers a scalable way to deliver meaningful growth.
• Leaders face more complexity and need trusted connections; mentoring helps build trust, collaboration and purpose.

National Mentoring Month is your window of opportunity to start strong and amplify your program’s impact in January and well into the year ahead.
