It's a hard time to be a kid. With all of the negativity in the world surrounding us, 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. 

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 help teach them how to navigate in the society we live in. I also enjoy being a mentor because it gives me the opportunity to do what I love. I have a passion for helping children and teens. With my degree in psychology, I hope to become a counselor for children and teenagers with mental health issues. The College Mentors program allows my little buddy to teach me as much as I am teaching them.

I can't do all of this without your help, though. In order to continue educating the young people of our community, 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.
