This year I am excited to mentor D'Rashamir again! D'Rashamir just began 3rd grade, a very important year in school. He is still as curious, imaginative and helpful as he was last year and I love seeing him grow with each week.

Many of the kids we serve have added obstacles outside of school; 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 I am not only a mentor but also get to plan the activities for our little buddies which has been an awesome and rewarding role! 

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. I also enjoy learning with my buddy about careers, culture and diversity, and community service. 

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.
