College Mentors for Kids

My name is Bryan Pfeffer, president of College Mentors for Kids, which is an exciting community service program that myself and a few others will be bringing to campus this semester.College Mentors for Kids is a mentorship program focusing on at-risk youth local to large college campuses. It has been around for over 20 years on other college campuses and currently serves 31 Universities. The program is set up to work with 1st-6th graders in the community, in this case Prince George's County, and brings these young students to our campus once a week to provide a mentor and also show the opportunities that a college can provide. Each Little Buddy is matched with a mentor for a two- hour block, 2-4 on Wednesdays, where they will spend time doing various programs around campus. We have partnered with the University of Maryland Athletic Department, and believe that support and membership from the College of Education would be invaluable. Anyone who is interested in learning more and potentially applying to be a mentor can contactumdcollegementors@gmail.com or reach me at (732)-284-1735 with any questions. The application process includes an online application as well as an in-person interview with the Executive Board. More information can also be found at collegementors.org. You can also find our table at the First Look Fair on September 16th and 17th.
This is a great opportunity to give back to the community and foster meaningful relationships with children that need them most. We cannot wait to add impassioned mentors to our organization.
Sincerely,
Bryan Pfeffer and the College Mentors Team
