History

National Inspirational Role Models Month began in 2005, created by Darlene House, the owner and Chief Communications Specialist at House of Communications. She established this month to honor those who inspire others through their actions and character.

The month focuses on recognizing people who positively impact others, whether they are public figures or everyday heroes.

These role models play a vital role in guiding and motivating individuals to strive for their best. The celebration encourages everyone to reflect on the influence of their role models and to express gratitude for their guidance and inspiration.


How to celebrate

Write a Thank You Note

Penning a heartfelt note can make a difference. Write to a role model, expressing your gratitude. Tell them how they’ve inspired you. Personal touches make these notes special. Slip in a story or two. Watch their faces light up!

Host a Role Model Story Hour

Gather friends and family for a story hour. Share tales about inspirational figures. Invite people to narrate their favorite role model’s achievements. Make it fun with snacks and cozy seating. Everyone loves a good story, especially about heroes!

Create a Vision Board

Get crafty and make a vision board. Collect pictures and quotes from role models. Arrange them on a board to inspire daily. Display it where you can see it often. It’s a visual reminder of aspirations and dreams.

Volunteer in Their Honor

Pick a cause your role model supports. Volunteer your time to help out. It could be a shelter, food bank, or a community garden. Giving back feels great, and it honors their influence. Make a difference, just like they do!

Share on Social Media

Use the power of social media. Post about your role models. Share their stories, quotes, and photos. Create a special hashtag for the month. Encourage others to join in. Spread the inspiration far and wide!
