college mentors for kids connects college students with the most to give to kids who need it most
A growing nonprofit organization, College Mentors for Kids pairs more than 1,500 first- through eighth-grade children with 1,700 local college student mentors. College Mentors' signature mentor program has chapters on 23 college and university campuses in Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky and Ohio.
Through weekly after-school activities focused on higher education and career, culture and diversity, and community service, mentors help their "Little Buddies" understand the importance of education, show them the benefits to cultural understanding, and teach them ways to give back to their community.
Mentoring relationships are not only beneficial for children, but the college students, as well. Mentors learn about the resources their campus offers, leadership skills and the need for positive role models in their communities.
At College Mentors for Kids, we motivate kids and college students to reach their full potential to positively impact the community.
