Capitol Hill Day 2024
MENTOR’s Capitol Hill Day brings together stakeholders from across the youth mentoring movement, including mentoring program staff, volunteer mentors, funders, researchers and public officials who have seen firsthand the positive impact a caring adult mentor can have in the life of a young person.
Advocates participating in Capitol Hill Day travel to DC a day early to attend an in-person training and meeting and networking with peers from across the country. This year, advocates will hear from young people, elected leaders and a panel of Congressional staff about the impact they can have. Capitol Hill Day registration opens on October 30.
Capitol Hill Day: January 24 (required in-person training: January 23)
Due to high interest, registration for Capitol Hill Day at the 2024 National Mentoring Summit has reached capacity and is now closed. Thank you.
