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: Mason
Age: 9
Interests: Mason is a big Roblox and ninja enthusiast. He is an active second-grader who likes roller skating, playing at the park, gagaball, and trampoline parks. He enjoys art as well as football, baseball, and soccer.
Personality/Characteristics: His guardian describes him as happy, active, intelligent, talkative, caring, protective, tall for his age. The three words/phrases he uses to describe himself are: Funny, sometimes a smarty pants, nice. He loves his family very much.
Goals/dreams: When he grows up, he wants to be a pro basketball or soccer player. If he could have three wishes he would want: 1) Have a lot of money for me and my family 2) No school 3) Get my own phone for my games. His guardian hopes a Kids ‘n Kinship mentor will help him see himself in positive ways, foster positive thoughts and behaviors for best outcomes. He would like a 1-on-1 mentor who is fun and can do fun things.
