SR 39: A RESOLUTION recognizing January 2026 as Kentucky Mentorship Month.

This resolution (SR 39) formally recognizes January 2026 as "Kentucky Mentorship Month" through a symbolic gesture by the state Senate.

The resolution highlights mentorship's role in supporting young people's education, career readiness, and community connection, citing research on its benefits. It directs the Senate to celebrate mentors and organizations during this month but has no binding effect on policy or funding. As a ceremonial resolution, it directly affects no individuals or entities through legal mandate.
