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. 

I love getting to be a mentor and spending time with my little buddy. Charlie and I are forming a great relationship. Our favorite thing to do in our downtime is play two truths and a lie. It is a super fun way for us both to get to know each other more. Each week, we learn something new about careers, culture, or community service. College mentors is a great way for me to get a break from everyday stresses and make a positive impact in my little buddy's life!

I can't do all of this without your help, though. Please consider making a donation to help me meet my fundraising goal! Your contribution will allow us to continue this program on our campus so that we can make an even greater impact on these kids who need it.
