The Calvert County Mentoring Partnership (CCMP) is hosting its Seventh Annual National Mentoring Month Breakfast on Thursday, January 19, from 8:30 to 11 a.m., at the Southern Community Center in Lusby. Gary Wynn, president of the Solomons Steelers Youth Football and Cheerleading, will be the Honorary Chair at this FREE networking event. The breakfast will feature a panel discussion from business leaders, school officials, non-profits, and the community on their perspective of mentoring, and information on how to get involved in mentoring programs. Individuals, businesses, government agencies, schools, faith communities and local nonprofit organizations can all play a part in increasing the number of mentors in Calvert County and assuring a better future for our youth.
The Mentoring Breakfast is held in observance of National Mentoring Month 2012, a month-long campaign dedicated to recruiting caring mentors for America’s youth. Research has shown that mentorship can play a powerful role in reducing drug abuse and youth violence, while greatly enhancing a young person’s prospects for leading a healthy and productive life. Calvert County is rich in opportunities for young people to become involved with an adult who cares about their well-being. If your organization offers a mentoring program that you wish to feature at a booth at the breakfast, email Nadine Happell at nhappell@gscnc.org.
To RSVP for the FREE National Mentoring Month Breakfast, or to sponsor the event on behalf of a business or organization, contact Roseanna Vogt at the Circle of Angels Initiative at 301-778-3848 or by email at circleofangels@chesapeake.net.
