"They have been meeting since 2012 and even though my child is a junior in high school, they are still very close."

Remember Davontae and Arvid?

We have an update from Match Support Specialist Mariah about the match!

"This year Davontae got STRAIGHT As!!! Even after having to teach himself to do high school level online math!!! Because of his hard work, Davontae was selected to apply for the national honors society and his big Arvid wrote the recommendation letter!"

 
 

Campus Kids Returns in January 

Campus Kids partners Mines students with Littles who are waiting to be matched or who already have matches, but would like to have fun on-campus with college students. In these meetings, Littles play games, watch movies, have dinner, and spend quality time with Mines students. COVID-19 forced us to change big group activities into smaller pairings, so that volunteers and youth would be safer. With these changes, new programming has been developed and matches are being made for the Spring semester, with the possibility to continue onward when the semester ends.
