Mentoring is a relationship in which knowledge and skills are shared between members in a way in which everyone benefits. Often a more senior person is mentoring a junior person, but mentorship can happen between any two individuals. Mentoring will help Airmen and Guardians discover their strengths by achieving their full potential through a structured, trusting mentoring relationship.

As part of Month of the Military Child, the Soroban Education Workshop 2025 was an opportunity for students to make and learn how to use their soroban which is the Japanese word for the abacus manual calculating tool, typically consisting of beads or counters that slide along rods or wires within a frame used for counting and performing calculations.
