It's a hard time to be a kid. 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 is my second year participating in College Mentors, and I'm estatic to be back with my buddy, Grayson! He has brought me such an added amount of happiness to my college expereince. He loves telling me about the latest Pokemon plush toys that are out, and is a very grateful little kids. I enjoy being a mentor because I get to spend time with my little buddy each week and participate in fun activities together with other mentors and buddies. It's important to me to give back to the community, and I'm learning important leadership skills in the meantime.

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, kids like my little buddy Grayson!
