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 become a College Mentor for Kids.

College Mentors for Kids connects kids to college students through currently weekly online activities that inspire growth, confidence, and brighter futures. 

This semester I was not able to receive a buddy due to not enough buddies signing up. While I don't have a buddy currently, I'm excited to hopefully receive a buddy and get to spend time with my little buddy each week and participate in fun activities together with other mentors and buddies. I'm excited to learn alongside my buddy about careers, culture and diversity, and community service. Not only would we explore our world together, but my little buddy will help 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 power of mentoring.
