Did you know that mentoring transforms lives? Research shows that kids with mentors view themselves and their futures more positively than those without mentors. 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. And 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 as a General Manager because I get to spend time with my little buddies each week and participate in fun activities together with other mentors and buddies. I also enjoy learning alongside my buddies about careers, culture and diversity, and community service. Not only do we like exploring our world together, but my little buddies help me grow as a person 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, though. All of this would not be possible without the generous donations from those that support our program. Please donate to our chapter of the program if you are able! If you can't donate, I would appreciate if you could share this fundraiser and help spread the word about the power of mentoring!
