Did you know mentors change 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 mentor through College Mentors for Kids. 

College Mentors for Kids connects kids to college students through weekly activities via zoom that inspire growth, confidence, and brighter futures. Despite the program being online this year, College Mentors still plays an important role in kids lives. I love learning alongside my buddy about careers, culture and diversity, and community service. Not only this, 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 that will prepare me for my future career as an elementary teacher.

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.
