Thank you to Quarles & Brady LLP, Joel Tragesser and Shamika Mazyck for their support of a career activity at Wabash College. The Little Buddies and mentors loved learning about what lawyers do along with branding and trademarks!

Yesterday College Mentors for Kids was joined by AssuredPartners at Ball State University for an activity with our Little Buddies. AssuredPartners brought a unique activity to teach Little Buddies about insurance using play money, policies, and a “wheel of misfortune”. Both the kids and college student mentors learned so much about the importance of insurance and how to spread risk.

Will you support College Mentors for Kids this Giving Tuesday? A recent MENTOR 2023 study found that 74% of youth who had a meaningful mentoring relationship said their mentor contributed significantly to their later success in life. However, another study notes that one third of youth who want a mentor don’t have one due to a lack of formal mentoring programs in their community. College Mentors can change that. By connecting kids and college students across the country, we close the gap and provide more students with meaningful connections. Join the mentoring movement and donate today. https://lnkd.in/gjkEWfFV
