JANUARY IS NATIONAL MENTORING MONTH
A mentor is a person or friend who provides guidance,
motivation, support, and serves as a role model. They
can be a parent, teacher, coach, or a community leader.
Take part in National Mentoring Month by having a Small
Talk with youth on the dangers of underage drinking.
Below are some examples of how different kinds of
mentors can help.

   •   Parents have the most impact on children’s
       choices about underage drinking. Being involved,
       talking, and setting an example are all ways to
       guide them.

   •   Teachers can find ways to include alcohol
       education in their lessons, as well as how it can
       impact learning.

   •   After practice, coaches can talk to their players about how alcohol affects their bodies and performance.

Every mentor has a different relationship with the youth in their lives. Given those unique connections, everyone in the community
has a chance to take steps to combat underage drinking. Learn more about the impact role models/mentors can make by clicking
