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 third year as a General Manager for this organization. In this role, I facilitate activities each week with little buddies that center on Community Service, Diversity and Inclusion, and Higher Education. I love this position becasue I get to know each little buddy on a personal level. It's important to me to give back to the community, and I'm learning important leadership skills in the meantime which will help me with my future career as an educator.

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. Every little bit counts!

Lots of love,
Nicolet
