Winsten headed a communications task force which helped to plan the 1997 Presidents' Summit on America's Future in Philadelphia, chaired by General Colin Powell. As an outgrowth of the Summit, Winsten and colleagues began to shift focus to youth mentoring with the launch of the Harvard Mentoring Project,[14] organizing a year-round national media campaign from 1998 to 2001 with support from the major broadcast television networks.[15] In 2002, the campaign developed into National Mentoring Month, a focused campaign held each January to recruit volunteer mentors for at-risk youth.[16] National Mentoring Month won the support of three successive U.S. presidents, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Barack Obama, helping to establish mentoring as an important national priority.[15][17]
