Description

Fall is a Great Time to Become a Mentor!

Kids 'n Kinship is a local non-profit organization making successful mentoring matches for over 45 years in Dakota County. Individual, couple, and family mentors are needed to provide friendship to youth ages 5-16 in need of a positive role model. You can be a mentor in the community or at a school. Kids 'n Kinship helps children in Apple Valley, Burnsville, Eagan, Farmington, Lakeville & Rosemount. This is an ongoing volunteer opportunity with a flexible schedule! Mentoring is fun and rewarding and can make a huge impact! Find out more at an upcoming Information Session:

Thursday, August 23 from 5:00-6:00 pm at the Wescott Library in Eagan

The Information Session is the place to hear about the children and teens who are waiting for mentors, the volunteer screening process, and the activities and benefits provided by Kids 'n Kinship. We schedule Information Sessions every few weeks, so if this date is not convenient, we'll plan a date and time that works for you. 

Positive, caring role models are needed. As a volunteer mentor you would get together with your matched mentee for an hour or two each week doing low cost or no cost activities like biking, playing catch, board games, drawing, going to the park, eating dinner together, and visiting the library.

Mentoring is fun and rewarding and you can make a huge difference in the life of a child - Young adults who face an opportunity gap but have a mentor are 55% more likely to be enrolled in college than those who did not have a mentor. (The Mentoring Effect)
