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 kids to college students through weekly on-campus activities that inspire growth, confidence, and brighter futures.

The opportunity I get each week to spend time with my little buddy and participate in fun activities together is beautiful. Getting to learn alongside my buddy about careers, culture and diversity, and community service is amazing. Not only do we like exploring our world together, but my little buddy helps me grow to be a better educator and overall person. This program helps me to give back to my community and bring some light into a child's life.

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 and keep making a difference in children's lives.
