It is hard to be a kid. With all kinds of negative peer pressures, it is tough to navigate this world without a caring adult to help. Many of the kids we serve have additional challenges. Most of the kids live in poverty or low-income homes. More than 80% of the kids will be first generation college students. 

Luckily, College Mentors for Kids provides college student mentors to serve as positive role models, allowing these kids to open their eyes to new opportunities, helping them create new visions for their futures. 

I enjoy being a mentor because I get to spend time with my little buddy each week and participate in activities together with other mentors and buddies. I also enjoy having the opportunity to learn with my buddy about careers, culture and diversity, and community service. It is important to me to give back to the community. Simultaneously, I am learning important leadership skills that I can use for my own future.

I cannot do all of this without your help. Please consider making a donation to help me meet my fundraising goal of $120! Your contribution allows us to continue this program on our campus so that we can make an even greater impact on these kids who need it.
