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 decided to come back to College Mentors for Kids at Butler University this year because I wanted another opportunity to have a positive impact on kids. As a future educator, I understand the importance of forming strong relationships, and College Mentors embraces that mission. This year I will be a General Manager, and I will be in charge of overseeing a "Buddy Family," or multiple pairs of mentors and little buddies. I am very excited to form multiple relationships with the little buddies and mentors that I work with, and I can't wait to see how they change my life while I try my best to make a positive impact on theirs. 

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.
