Resources in Honor of National Mentoring Month
January is National Mentoring Month, and Projects for Peace is celebrating the people in our lives who have molded us into the people we are today. Mentors are crucial to every stage of personal and professional life. At Projects for Peace we see mentors every day: the faculty or staff member who encourages an applicant to pursue their brilliant idea, the grantee who builds mentorship principles into their project design, or the Project for Peace alum who commits to guiding the next generation of peacebuilders. The organization has generated an array of free resources, which we’ve compiled below for easy access to all in the Projects for Peace community. We hope that they offer you guidance and inspiration no matter where you are in your life or career.
