Cougs: Send a MentorBoost Kit to a Young Person This January

A MentorBoost Kit is a simple, practical “you matter” message—hygiene essentials, basic school supplies, and encouragement, packed with care and delivered through Cougs 4 Kids’ mentoring community.

Imagine showing up to school without what you need to feel confident—clean socks, toothpaste, a notebook, a pen. Your gift turns that moment around. It’s not just supplies—it’s dignity, readiness, and the feeling that a whole Coug community is in your corner.

Why this matters to WSU alumni & students

WSU Cougs show up.
From Pullman to wherever you live now, we’re built for this: practical help, real community, and doing what needs doing. When you fund MentorBoost Kits, you’re putting “Cougs 4 Kids” into action—one kit, one moment of support, one young person at a time.

What’s inside a MentorBoost Kit

Each kit is designed to deliver essentials + encouragement, including items like:

• Drawstring bag/backpack to carry everything 

• Toothpaste + toothbrush 

• Hand sanitizer 

• Socks 

• Notebook + pen + highlighter 

• Encouraging note + support resources (and often a small enrichment item)
