We’re proud to announce the 2023 National Mentoring Month theme will be “Share Your Shine”!
As a Strengths-based program, TeamMates matches focus on what’s right about one another. During this month of gratitude, we ask that our matches think about when their mentor OR mentee are at their best.
Starting January 1, TeamMates’ National Office will be celebrating the impact mentoring has on communities. We’ll be showing how our matches shine each week.
Check out the resources below so you can share how your local chapter shines during National Mentoring Month.
Activity: Share Your Shine PostCard
