We currently have 39 kids in Dakota County (ages 5-16) waiting for a mentor. We have several youth who have waited as long as 5 years for the right mentor. Our largest demand is for male mentors (or couples/families willing to mentor a boy) as more than half of our waitlist are boys. Individuals, couples, and families can become mentors. We ask that you commit at least 4 hours/month for at least one year as a mentor. We will train and support you every step of the way along the process to becoming matched with a youth in our community.
Mentoring is a critical component in young people’s lives, helping them make the decisions and connections that help them learn and grow. Kids ‘n Kinship mentors consistently provide feedback that, while they started mentoring in order to change a young person’s life, it often ends up changing theirs as well. Mentoring isn’t just about offering guidance, it’s about making a real, lasting difference. Imagine being a part of someone’s growth and helping them discover what’s possible - just by spending a few hours a month with them.
Once you RSVP, we'll send you a link. For the link or if you have any questions, please email us at programs@kidsnkinship.org. Thank you!
