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. 

This year I have been given the opportunity of being a GM for the second-grade buddy family for Keister Elementary! I love watching my mentors and my little buddies grow each week, and their relationships flourish. These kids deserve the absolute world and I dedicate myself to giving them the best two hours possible each Tuesday. 

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.
