Why College Mentors?

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 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. Not only do we like exploring our world together, but my little buddy helps 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 powering of mentoring.

My Personal Fundraising Page

Hello everyone, this is my fundraiser page for College Mentors for Kids and I have a fundraising goal of $180 to help fund activities for our little buddies every semester. This mentoring program is about making a positive change in a child's life; giving them a positive relationship along with being that good, supportive role model that they may be lacking at home. Not only are we making a positive change in their life, but our little buddies are also making us grow personally and teaching us how to deal with certain situations depending on the specific buddy we are paired with. Not only am I giving back to my community, but I am also giving a little buddy an opportunity to learn about our world, build a relationship that is beneficial for them, and most importantly expanding their knowledge about important lessons that they may not be learning at home with their family. I am very thankful and greatful for any donation. Please donate to help our mentoring program fund activities every semsterm so the little buddies can get the most out of our program. Thank you for your donations to our program.
