| GRIP at Mentoring Day on the Hill |
It is a time of awareness of mentoring programs and the good they do for communities. It is also a time for recognition and appreciation for the people who give their time to mentor. A major event is the Iowa Mentoring Partnership's Mentoring Day on the Hill.
January 17th GRIP attended the Mentoring Day on the Hill, a day at the Iowa State Capitol in Des Moines. Mentoring programs from around the state set up booths and called out their legislators. It was a day to catch up with representatives from previous years and to educate new legislators on our programs. It was amazing to see all of these mentoring programs coming together with their legislators to show what a difference we are making in the lives of youth across Iowa!
After the Day on the Hill, 5 mentors from Iowa were recognized for the '2013 Excellence in Mentoring Award.' All 5 of these individuals had amazing stories serving as mentors throughout their lives.
We would like to say a huge 'Thank You!!' to our GRIP mentors and to all the mentors out there who are giving their time, skills and knowledge to youth across the county and the world.
Happy National Mentoring Month!
