Mentoring Matters
College Mentors for Kids works with 200 children from four local elementary schools, teaching them about higher education and careers, culture and diversity and community service. Each week, first- through fifth-grade students from Linden STEM Academy, West Franklin Elementary, Weinland Park Elementary and Hamilton STEM Academy are hosted on campus or for one-on-one mentoring with a university student.
