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.

My experience with CMFK has been nothing short of astonishing, and I am so so happy to be apart of such an amazing group of people. My little buddy comes from a lifestyle where she often does not get to enjoy being a kid. So for her CMFK is an opportunity to escape her stressors, relax, and just be a kid. From making TikToks to adding a new move to our super top-secret handshake, every week is an adventure and I am so so glad that I am making these memories with her. She is a daily reminder for me of what a little bit of positivity every day can do for your life, and she often tells me that I am her reminder to "Stay Goofy." 

I can't do all of this without your help, though. Every week CMFK provides the little buddies with a new activity that allows them to have fun but also gain valuable (and fun) life skills. These events are all funded through CMFK, who has a different school on campus every day of the week, so as you can imagine it does add up. 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.
