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 year, I am participating in the program as a general manager, or GM! I am in charge of the Bumblebee family, which is made up of ten buddy pairs! My favorite thing about being a GM is being able to interact with all ten of the little buddies in my family:-) I love seeing the buddy pairs grow and change throughout the semesters, and it makes my heart happy seeing how excited the little buddies get when they see everybody waiting for them to get off the bus!

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.
