Think of the impact a mentor can leave on a young person's life. Studies show that kids with a prominent mentor are more confident, have improved academics and career outcomes, and are more engaged in their communities. Having a mentor can make a world of difference since we all know how hard it can be to grow up; That's why I chose to be a mentor!

College Mentors for Kids aims to connect college students with young kids through weekly on-campus activities to inspire growth, confidence, and brighter futures.

I love spending time with my little buddy and doing fun activities together. We both get to learn about each other, careers, cultures, and life. In addition to that, we get to better understand the world we live in today! We also get to give back to our community in different activities throughout the semester. Not only does my buddy get to grow, but I do too!

I cannot do this alone, please consider donating to help us continue this program and make a positive impact on the next generation! Your contribution will allow us to continue Purdue's College Mentors for Kids program on our campus and mentoring our buddies to be the best they can possibly be!
