My Personal Fundraising Page

This is my third year in College Mentors for Kids @ NC State, and my second term serving as the Vice President of Finance. College Mentors for Kids is an organization which has truly changed my life. Throughout the program, I've been extremely blessed to build connections with children who look up to all of us as role models. Every week I've seen how kids have made so much progress on their self confidence, and it has been the most rewarding experience of my life. College Mentors for Kids is a non-profit organization, and a free after school program - one that needs funding from its community. Every single dollar that you donate goes directly back into our program, whether it's for snacks for the kids, crayons and colored pencils, or even transportation costs. Please consider donating to our program, we can't do this without you. - Varsha

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.
