Did you know that mentoring transforms lives? Research shows that kids with mentors view themselves and their futures more positively than those without mentors. The kids can discover the joy of learning and they can also achieve more positive outcomes in school, the workplace, and their communities. We all know that growing up is challenging in this world but, with a mentor, it can help make it a little easier and more fun!  That’s exactly why I’ve chosen to be a volunteer with College Mentors.

College Mentors for Kids connects kids to college students by engaging them in weekly on-campus activities that inspire growth, confidence, and brighter futures.

I enjoy volunteering because I get to spend time with my little buddy each week and participate in fun activities together with other mentors and their buddies. I also enjoy learning alongside my buddy about careers, culture and diversity, and community service. I chose this oppourtunity because I plan to recieve a degree in Elementary Education and felt this goes hand in hand. This program helps me to give back to my community, and I'm learning important leadership skills in the meantime.

I can't do all of this without your help, though. Please consider making a gift to help me meet my fundraising goal! Your contribution will allow us to continue this program on our campus so that we can teach the importance of learning through the power of mentoring.
