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 be 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 personally enjoy volunteering because I get to spend time with my little buddy each week and we participate in fun activities together with other mentors and buddies. My buddy and I get to learn about careers, culture and diversity, and community service togehter throughout the semester. Yet, not only do we have fun learning about the world togehter, we get to learn about each other. I love checking in on her each week and seeing how we can problem solve togehter. This program helps me to give back to my community and be the difference for one. Not only am I making a differnce in her, but she is grealty impacting my life as well. 

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 spread the powering of mentoring.
