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 is my third year in College Mentors and this year I am Vice President of Engagement which allows me to know all of the buddies! This role has helped me understand the importance of mentorship and finding a connection that will leave an impact for a lifetime! I also get to be a transportation officer on one of our days which gives me more time to get to know all the buddies. This program not only has an impact on us as college students, but now going into my third year I can truly see the impact it is having on our buddies.

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.
