The ReelPeople Project

The Harvard Mentoring Project of the Harvard School of Public Health invited real-life mentor/mentee pairs to share their stories for the chance to be featured in a National Mentoring Month 2010 PSA as part of the ReelPeople Project. Debbie and Becky, the pair selected for this year's campaign, were nominated by the Mass Mentoring Partnership through the Big Friends Little Friends Program of Fall River, Massachusetts.

When you were growing up, was there someone--a family member, teacher, coach, or neighbor--who encouraged you and guided you?
Thank your mentor.
Take the time to reach
out and thank someone
who made a difference in
your life.
Mentoring programs in your community need more volunteers. Turn your lifetime of experience into the experience of a lifetime. Share what you know...Mentor a child.
January is National Mentoring Month. The White House, the U.S. Congress, leading media companies, and nonprofit groups have joined together to help recruit mentors for young people.
