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.

This year, I am volunteering as an Activity Director and a Fundraising Director. Each week, I will help with planning activities, coordinating speakers and collaborating with the executive team to make sure that each day goes well and every mentor is reaching their fundraising goal! I am excited to participate in these new roles this year because they are more "behind the scenes". Although I won't be paired with a buddy this year, my roles will be directly connected to the fundraising that I do! 

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.
