Why College Mentors?

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 enjoy volunteering because I get to spend time with my little buddy each week and participate in fun activities together with other mentors and buddies. I also enjoy learning alongside my buddy about careers, culture and diversity, and community service. Not only do we like exploring our world together, but my little buddy helps 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. 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.

Emma's Fundraising Page

Last fall, I joined College Mentors for Kids and served as a mentor for two little buddies throughout the year. It truly was one of the most positive experiences of my freshman year. I looked forward to the weekly meetings with all of the mentors and little buddies. It was so meaningful to be able to make memories and promote their future all while laughing! While this year looks different, I am still so excited about virtual CMFK and being able to work the little buddies again! This year I am proud to serve as a general manager and work collectively with my mentors and little buddies. I am so inspired to get to help my mentors and meet so many new little buddies!
