Why I Lead Kinship of the Park Rapids Area
As the Executive Director of Kinship of the Park Rapids Area, I see firsthand every day how a consistent, caring adult can change the trajectory of a young person's life. But my passion for this mission isn't just professional—it’s personal.
Mentorship changed my life. I know I wouldn’t be where I am today without the guidance and encouragement of the mentors who invested in me. I’d be willing to bet that if you look back at your own journey, there was someone—a coach, a teacher, or a family friend—who believed in you when it mattered most.
Our Mission & Your Impact
Kinship is a true community nonprofit. We are 100% funded by local community support and grants, which means our ability to serve youth depends entirely on neighbors like you.
When you donate to this fundraiser, your gift goes directly toward the "engine" of our programs:
Mentor Recruitment: Finding dedicated volunteers to clear our waiting list.
Mentor Training: Equipping volunteers with the tools they need to be successful.
Match Support: Providing professional oversight to ensure every mentorship is safe and enduring.
Program Administration: Keeping the lights on so we can continue serving the Park Rapids area.
I am so proud to lead this organization, and I am even prouder to be part of a community that shows up for its kids. Whether you join us for the Fish Fry or donate online, thank you for helping us create more life-changing matches.
