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. 

College Mentors is SO special. When would I get the opportunity to connect with a 10 year-old in my area? Through College Mentors I get to establish a relationship with the greatest kids. Let me tell you about my buddy Justice. She is a little shy and is definitely not the first one to voulenteer in games, but she has such a sweet and compassionate heart. Because she isn't the most outgoing one in the group, it gives me more one-on-one time to learn about her. Her favorite color is pink, she loves unicorns, and she wants to be a doctor when she grows up. Her twin brother is in the same family as us and to see them share an incredible bond is such a priveldge. They get to grow together through this program and I'm so lucky that I have the opporunity to make an impact on them. 

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.
