Hi!

First of all, thank you for visiting my fundraising page! Our chapter could not function without the support of generous donors.

I am Ryan, this is my fourth year with College Mentors for Kids and it has hands down been the most enjoyable part of my college experience. I was the mentor to an amazing little buddy named CJ for those first three years and I now serve as an Engagement Manager for the chapter. That basically means that it is now my job to ensure that current mentors are enjoying their experience as well as I did and are connecting with their little buddies.

Over these past three years, I have been privileged to see the impact that our organization makes through one on one connections with local elementary school students. The things that these kids learn and get to experience by being on a college campus that has so much to offer shapes their lives considerably. The statistics show that children in our organization are more likely to pursue higher education and avoid the justice system than if they were not involved. Not only that they get to have an incredibly fun time every week hanging out with a college student who genuinely cares about them and wants them to succeed. 

There is no organization out there like College Mentors for Kids, and I want to see it thrive in the years to come. However, in order to make this dream a reality I need kind people like yourself to donate.

For the Kids,

Ryan
