Many youth in our community need a positive influence. We are looking for men to be a role model for young boys who are looking for a positive male connection. Mentors should be able to provide youth with trust, dependability, and guide them along the journey to manhood. By committing to weekly engagements, mentors and youth can participate in indoor or outdoor activities including sports, games, mechanics, board games, arts, music and the myriad of other activities (virtually or in-person due to COVID-19). For more information, check out our website www.kinship-mn.org. Call Kinship at 612-588-4655 or email to learn more about connecting with a youth who would benefit from a positive male role model.

Mission Statement
Kinship Greater Twin Cities believes that every young person needs a role model. Kinship youth are matched with community mentors who foster supportive, holistic, and authentic relationships. Mentors and mentees are carefully matched based on common interests, aspirations and, when desired, faith connections. Kinship believes that the mentoring relationship is a mutually beneficial opportunity for all parties to grow. Kinship commits to providing resources and opportunities for youth and their families throughout the greater Twin Cities.
Description
Kinship actively invites individuals, couples and families into mentoring relationships with boys and girls ages 5-15. Focused on building lasting friendships through fun activities and quality time, the mentoring program creates sustained, supportive connections capable of giving youth the life skills they need to succeed. Kinship's mentoring model requires mentors to spend 2-4 hours per week with their mentee and are encouraged to participate in community events and activities centered around the youth's interests. Discovering new experiences together is also encouraged, opening the door for academic, social, and emotional growth. Life skills and work preparedness are also essential to our mentoring model, as well as optimism for the future and healthy living.
