Looking for a mentor: Zoe (Kids ‘n Kinship)
Kids ‘n Kinship provides friendships and positive role models to children and youth ages 5-16 who are in need of an additional supportive relationship with an adult. Here’s one of the youth waiting for a mentor:
First name: Zoe
Age: 12
Interests: Zoe loves the arts. She is an incredible artist! She loves being creative in her drawing, making videos, crafts, music, etc. She played a part in her middle school’s musical. She also enjoys camping and being in nature.
Personality/Characteristics: Zoe is very talkative, especially with those she trusts. She’s also a bit of an old soul, and is a deeply empathetic person, easily picking up on the feelings of others around her. Zoe has had a lot of challenges and big changes in her life recently that have led her to be very independent. She lives with her grandma, and grandma describes Zoe as resilient, outrageously funny, emotionally intelligent, and with a knack for language. Zoe’s first language was ASL (American Sign Language).
Goals/dreams: Zoe loves being involved in the arts! She’d love a mentor who would listen to her, enjoy the arts, and who wants to be active – maybe go on a roller coaster with her, or take her on a hike. When asked what she’d wish for if she had 3 wishes, Zoe said 1: For Unlimited money (so she could give away a lot of it to people who need it) 2: For her grandma and her to live forever! And 3: For there to be peace in our world and for people to be able to be themselves.
