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:

Looking for a mentor: Ava (Kids ‘n Kinship)

First name: Ava

Age: 10

Interests: Ava is very artistic! She loves creating new things every chance she gets. She likes helping cook and bake. She is just an all-around amazing girl. She loves music, dancing, and singing. She also is interested in cheerleading.

Personality/Characteristics: Her mom says, “She is very loving, helpful, curious, talkative, happy, emotional, shy, determined, and more, and she has a big bright smile that fills the room.”

Goals/dreams: She is the oldest sibling from a single-guardian home and mom would love for her to get a chance to be a kid, get the attention she craves and deserves, and give her chances to do and try new things. When she grows up she wants to be a pop star.  Her 3 wishes would be: 1) Get some gold so she can buy dresses and jewelry. 2) Have an awesome pair of gold sneakers  3) Either make my friends rich or we all go to a real-life candyland.
