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 was a mentor last year, but not I am lucky enough to be a GM, and have my own buddy family full of awesome 1st and 2nd graders and their mentors. Every week I look forward to spending time with these kids, as they are the best part of my week. They are so goofy, so full of joy and life and honeslty are kind of some of the best kids I have ever met. They are so respectful and I can see how excited they get to see their mentors and how much that relationship means to them, and to the mentors too.We do so many fun things like make elephant toothpaste, dance, go to the planetarium and they do not realize how much we are learning from them just being their mentors.

We really can do so much with your help, and every donation counts and is so appreciated, as we want to be able to give these buddies the best experience possible. Please consider donating to reach 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! Thank you soo much!
