Did you know that mentoring has the potential to change lives? Research shows that kids with mentors view themselves and their futures more positively than those without mentors. We all know that growing up can be a challenging time, but, having a mentor present for support can make it feel less hard at times. This is why I'm grateful to have the opportunity to be a volunteer with the College Mentors For Kids Program.

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. My little buddy helps me grow as a person too, allowing me to learn more about myself and my campus along the way.

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.
