Friends and family!

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 enjoy being a mentor because I get to spend time with my little buddy each week and participate in fun activities. Last year, my little buddy and I were able to do many fun activities, which included playing basketball with the Women's Club team, touring the belltower at NC State, and MORE! It was so awesome to watch my little buddy grow over the course of our year together, and I cannot wait for another great year with another little buddy! It's so important to me to give back to the community, and I hope I can teach my little buddy how important it is too. 

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 kids who need it. Thank you to those who supported me last year! With your generous donations, I was able to raise over $300 for this organization. I am hoping to meet my goal again this year!
