Kinship is looking for teachers who might have some free time or even be retired. We would like to offer some lifeskill classes to our kids on topics such as financial literacy, social skills, career options, peer choices, personal strengths and talents, etc. Being a teen is challenging in these days and we have the opportunity to reach this select group of low income kids who may not have the financial resources to attend other opportuntities out in the community.
This opportunity might be for a four hour workshop or two 2.5 hour classes. You could help us design the formats with your teaching abilities. Together we can make sure the kids get the knowledge.
Since budget cuts don't allow all that use to be taught in schools we want to make sure our kids are not missing out.

Location:

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.
