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 a volunteer with College Mentors.

College Mentors for Kids connects school aged children to college students through weekly on-campus activities that inspire growth, confidence, and brighter futures.

I LOVE Purdue's chapter of College Mentors for Kids because I get to spend quality time with my little buddy each week! We participate in fun activities together alongside other mentors and buddies, while learning new things about different careers, cultures and diversity, and community service. Not only do we like exploring this  world together, but my little buddy helps me grow as a person too!! I am so grateful for this program for giving me the opportunity to give back to my community, as well as allowing me to learn important leadership skills at the same time! 

None of this would be possible without the overwhelming support of our families, friends, & loved ones! Please consider making a donation 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 power of mentoring. I couldn't thank you all enough!
