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 at College Mentors because I love spending time with my little buddy Shama! She is so funny and every week I feel like we are talking about something completely new. She is always so engaged in every activity we do and enjoys the learning aspect of the program aswell. I love that I get to be a part of this process for her because I know that she looks forward to Monday's because of it. Because of my little buddy, Shama and I are learning new things every week and I am giving back to my community. 

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.
