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 mentor because, honestly, my little buddy has changed my life. I used to be so focused on myself and my college experience but Peyton taught me the joy of slowing down and enjoying smelling the roses. She is so kind, caring, and smart! Peyton is truly a gift and I am so blessed to be her mentor. She inspires me every week and pushes me to be a better mentor for her. She deserves the absolute best the world has to offer! She also has dreams of becoming a veterinarian :)  

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. All of your donations go to Peyton and the other kids! Do it for the kids!
