From the Editor
Federal advocacy for mentoring and youth-related funding is a primary focus of MENTOR, but we can use MENTOR's training to ask local and state governments to support or reject policies. Legislators work for all Americans, but they cannot read minds. Advocacy and voting are democracy's superpowers! Use those powers or lose them.

Do not forget to sign up for MENTOR's advocacy training in a 3-session series. MENTOR's August Advocacy. Advocacy doesn't end with August. Our session choices are Sep 13, Government 101; Oct 11, Advocacy 101; and Nov 15, Policy and Advocacy Communications 101. For youth and adults, mentoring or not!
