Welcome, friend! I am glad you are here.
As we all know, 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 little buddy's name is Lexi and she is in 6th grade this year! I have had the pleasure of mentoring her for the past 3 years, since my freshman year, and it has been such an incredible joy. Lexi is a spunky, passionate, intelligent, and ambitious little gal who loves to sing, dance, run, play the violin, and cook. I adore her and love spending time with her every Tuesday afternoon.

I absolutely love being a mentor because I get to spend time with my little buddy each week and we 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. It's important to me to give back to the community, and I'm learning important leadership skills in the meantime.

I would love to continue mentoring Lexi until I graduate from Purdue and she graduates out of the program after her 6th grade year. 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.
Thank you for reading!!!
