It's a hard time to be a kid. With all kinds of negative peer pressures, it's tough to navigate without a caring adult to help them through. Many of the kids we serve have added challenges; most of them live in poverty or low-income homes, and more than 80% of them don't have a family history of higher education. 

Luckily, College Mentors for Kids provides college student mentors to serve as positive role models for these kids and open their eyes to new opportunities, helping them to create new visions for their futures. 

Every week I get to meet up with my little buddy, who is an elementary school student at one of our local schools, and participate in fun and educational activities with her, such as running a hot chocolate stand on campus so they understand what it takes to run a business or touring the local police and fire stations so they can start to envision what jobs they may want in the future. All of these activities inspire growth, confidence, and brighter futures.  I love getting to see my little buddy learn about different careers, culture and diversity, and community service. 

Unfortunately, all of these fun activities come with a price, so will you please consider donating to my fundraising page? All of the money raised goes directly towards the activities these children love so much and get to participate in every week. With your help we can make a difference in the lives of kids through mentoring! Thank you so much for helping support such a wonderful cause that I am so passionate about!
