PROCLAMATION 8333--DEC. 30, 2008

Proclamation 8333 of December 30, 2008
National Mentoring Month, 2009
By the President of the United States of America
A Proclamation
During National Mentoring Month, we recognize the millions of
individuals who dedicate themselves to making a difference in the lives
of others, and we underscore our commitment to supporting these soldiers
in America's armies of compassion.
Every day across our great Nation, men and women of many different
backgrounds work to inspire our next generation of leaders. By sharing
their time and experiences, mentors help instill important values that
encourage America's youth to set high goals and achieve their dreams.
Mentors demonstrate that the strength of our Nation lies in the hearts
and souls of our citizens and that a positive influence in someone's
life helps them secure a more hopeful future.
My Administration has been committed to building a culture of service,
citizenship, and responsibility. Through the Mentoring Children of
Prisoners program, volunteers help provide consistent guidance and
support so that these children can lead lives of opportunity and
achievement. The USA Freedom Corps is strengthening mentoring
opportunities in America and spreading a message of hope across our
Nation. The Helping America's Youth initiative, led by First Lady Laura
Bush, motivates caring adults to connect with youth to help them to grow
up to be responsible and successful adults. By working together, we can
enrich the lives of our next generation and continue a legacy of
kindness and encouragement.
I appreciate our Nation's mentors and all those who contribute to their
community by helping to change a child's life. For more information on
volunteering to be a mentor, visit volunteer.gov. During National
Mentoring Month, we honor the many Americans who have touched the lives
of others with their compassion, and we reflect on their efforts toward
building a stronger and brighter future for all.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE W. BUSH, President of the United States of
America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and
laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim January 2009 as National
Mentoring Month. I call upon the people of the United States to
recognize the importance of mentoring, to look for op
