“Kayla as a little kid was excited to participate in activities, but she was very quiet and shy. Over time, I saw her become open to more opportunities, whether that was coming to visit me in Chicago, making her own decisions, or looking into furthering her education after high school. I’ve seen her grow into becoming completely independent.”

Because of College Mentors...“College wasn’t such a foreign concept to me. I got used to being on campus with my mentor and I felt like college was something I could do someday.”- former little buddy

What I want to convey is that we have all learned a lot from each other, both little buddies and mentors included. I have discovered that this program is more than

unilateral mentoring; it is an exchange. An exchange of culture, values, knowledge, experiences, and character. We are all mentors and all mentees.- mentor
