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. 

I enjoy being a GM because I get to spend time with 10 little buddies each Thursday and participate in fun activities together with other mentors and buddies. I also enjoy learning with our buddy family about careers, culture and diversity, and community service. It's important to me to give back to the community because I know that I'm capable of helping others and being a person for someone in need.

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.
