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: Aaron
Age: 9
Interests: Aaron loves sports. He hopes to play on a soccer or basketball team, and would like to learn how to play football. His favorite things about school are recess and lunch, and math and gym are OK, too. He is a pretty picky eater, he says, and his favorite food is noodles.
Personality/Characteristics: His guardian describes Aaron as “very smart, very sweet, and little sensitive.” Aaron likes being around people and likes to be funny. He says he has a lot of friends and was proud of himself for helping a new girl at school during recess.
Goals/dreams: Aaron’s 3 wishes would be 1) to have the super power to stop time or be invisible, 2) to have infinite money to buy a big house, but not mansion, and 3) to get a new car for his mom. When he grows up he dreams of being a famous soccer player and becoming a CEO of a new phone company. His guardian hopes a mentor will be another supportive adult in his life, and someone to help answer all his curiosities about life and give new experiences as he grows!
