Did you know that mentoring transforms lives? Research shows that kids with mentors view themselves and their futures more positively. Not only do they view themselves in a more confident light, but they also achieve more positive outcomes in school, the workplace, and their communities. We all know that growing up is challenging, but with a mentor, it’s a little easier. That’s exactly why I’ve chosen to volunteer with College Mentors.

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

I enjoy volunteering because I get to know so many different little buddies and mentors and create fun activities to help buddy pairs create a strong bond. I also enjoy learning more as I plan activities about careers, culture, diversity, and community service. Not only do I love connecting with members of our program, but I get to reach out and connect with the community too. 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. Please consider donating to help me meet my fundraising goal! Your contribution will allow us to continue this program on our campus so that we can spread the power of mentoring.
