As a highlight of National Mentoring Month 2016, Thank Your Mentor Day™ is celebrated January 21. Many Americans will reach out to thank or honor those individuals who encouraged and guided them, and had a lasting, positive impact on their lives. These are simple ways you can thank your mentor:

1. Contact your mentor directly to express your appreciation.
2. Express your gratitude on social media.
3. Pass on what you received by becoming a mentor to a young person in your community.
4. Make a financial contribution  in your mentor’s honor.
5. Write a tribute to your mentor for posting on the Project Leadership blog. Send to Sue at sgodfrey@projectleadership.org.
