International Mentoring Day 2017 Was A Huge Success!
Last year, Epicenter Community came together with The Ali Center and the National Mentoring Partnership to create International Mentoring Day in conjunction with National Mentoring Month. #Mentoring is such a human and social phenomenon- it is one of the threads that ties the entirety of humanity together. No matter the culture, race, gender or class, #mentorship has always been an integral part of personal and societal growth.
This year’s International Mentoring Day was a huge success! Laila Ali joined us in our campaign this year with her #MentoringFlipped Video with MENTORnational.
Over 239k people viewed Laila’s video on Facebook!
