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. 

This is my second year in College Mentors for Kids and I am beyond excited to meet my new little buddy for this year! I love being a mentor because every week I look forward to spending time with my little buddy and participating in fun activities together with other mentors and their buddies! During activity we teach our little buddies about careers, culture and diversity, and community service. Throughout the year we develop strong relationships with our little buddies that are aimed at helping them succeed in their future endeavors. 

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.
