This is my third year in the College Mentors Program at NC State. I now serve as President after two years of being a General Manager. College Mentors has become my passion at this school, and I aim to make it the passion of each individual who graciously donates their time, energy, and love to these kids. 

I have learned more about myself than I ever thought I could, and that is because I am supported by the greatest team. This program is completely free for all Little Buddies that enroll. We pair them with a college student, hoping that this relationship will last years to come. Each week, our Little Buddies spend two hours on the NC State campus learning about other student organizations, experiencing what it is like to be a college student, and growing in a friendship with their mentor.

I joined this program because I have always loved working with kids. I have been extremely lucky to have had opportunities where I have made an impact on children. At College Mentors, the impact has been made on me. I see the bonds our Buddy pairs create, the laughs they share, and the memories we all will remember.

Keeping this organization running the way we do allows anyone who wishes to join. Our college students fundraise to buy snacks, supplies, and more for our Little Buddies each week. We can't do this without the support of our families or our friends. We can't do this without our mentors. We can't do this without you!
