Kids ‘n Kinship's mentoring program provides friendships to children and youth ages 5-16 in need of an additional positive adult role model. Trained adult volunteers walk alongside local youth and build connections to help youth:
* receive positive attention and guidance
* experience a variety of enriching activities and
* develop the sense of self-worth that is essential to successful functioning
We provide community-based, school-based and pen pal mentors for youth. Volunteers can mentor as individuals, couples and families. Some examples of typical activities are: hiking, attending sporting or cultural events, leaning a new skill or hobby, or just hanging out together.
Kids 'n Kinship provides a community mentoring program for children who live in Apple Valley, Burnsville, Eagan,
Farmington, Lakeville and Rosemount, MN.
Mentors spend at least 4-6 hours a month with the child for a minimum of one year. The average relationship lasts 3 years. Kids 'n Kinship also has a school-based mentoring project in collaboration with four local elementary schools. Mentors meet with the child at school once a week and then get together during school breaks for community activities. We currently have 45 local youth who are on a waitlist waiting for a mentor.
