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 have volunteered with College Mentors for Kids since my Freshman year and I am currently on the Executive Staff as a Vice President of Programming. I enjoy volunteering because I get to spend time with little buddies, mentors, and staff each week and help organize and facilitate fun activities with mentors and buddies. I also enjoy developing leadership skills that will help me in future careers. This program helps me to give back to the Muncie community, and I'm learning important communication 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 spread the powering of mentoring.
