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. 

College Mentors for Kids connects kids to college students through weekly on-campus activities that inspire growth, confidence, and brighter futures. This year, the program is happening through zoom!

Each week I get to engage with my little buddy and grow a relationship with them. We learn about community, diversity, teamwork, and get to have fun! My little buddy helps me learn too. Through the program, I have gained leadership and effective communication skills, while also being able to give back to my community.

Because the program has moved online this year, some buddies lack internet access. Please consider making a gift to help me meet my fundraising goal! Your contribution will allow us to continue this program by providing internet access to our little buddies, as well as funding for future in-person components of the program!
