Strong role models are necessary for children as they grow up, to motivate them to do great things. Along with being role models, College Mentors for Kids promotes friendships and strong connections between mentors and little buddies to promote a college education and success in the futures of the kids we mentor. 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.

Our goal at College Mentors for Kids is to provide 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 to be a General Manager of the program, and reach many more of our little buddies! I enjoy being a part of this program because I get to spend time with all of the little buddies each week and participate in fun activities together with them and their mentors. I also enjoy learning with the kids about careers, culture and diversity, and community service. My work with the program is important to me because i am actively making a positive impact on someone else while also learning many things myself.

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.
