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. 

Cornell's chapter of 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. 

As a General Manager, I get to spend time with buddy family each week and lead fun activities with my buddy family that inform the kids about careers, culture and diversity, and community service. College Mentors for Kids allows me to impart upon the little buddies a love for community service, curiousity about future career paths, and increased cultural awareness.

I can't do all of this without your help, though. Please consider making a donation so that we can continue this program on our campus and so that we can make an even greater impact on these kids. Thank you!
