NATIONAL MENTORSHIP MONTH
(Mr. DAVIS of North Carolina asked and was given permission to
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. DAVIS of North Carolina. Mr. Speaker, January is National
Mentorship Month. It is the perfect time to highlight the
transformative work of the Epsilon Sigma Lambda Chapter of Alpha Phi
Alpha Fraternity, Incorporated in Rocky Mount, North Carolina, with
their Alpha Academy Leadership Development Program, which serves male
students from Edgecombe, Nash, Halifax, and Wilson Counties.
They are empowering middle and high school students in eastern North
Carolina through three core pillars: leadership, mentorship, and
scholarship.
Since its inception, the Alpha Academy has impacted over 200 young
men, continuously shifting life narratives and opening doors to a
brighter future. These young men have engaged in impactful local and
global service projects from turkey drives and

Mr. Speaker, during National Mentorship Month, we celebrate the Alpha
Academy.
