IEL Celebrates National Mentoring Month

In January, IEL’s Ready to Achieve Mentoring Program (RAMP), and Right Turn Career-Focused Initiative joined youth and programs around the country in celebrating National Mentoring Month. Youth engaged in relationship-building activities, including game nights, career tours, and movie nights (shout-out to those who saw Hidden Figures and met a female NASA scientist who knew the women from the movie!). Youth also thanked their mentors through appreciation breakfasts, making “thank you” picture frames, and celebrating in other ways. IEL created RAMP and Right Turn from a variety of foundational materials that are free and available to the public.
