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. Kinship believes that the mentoring relationship is a mutually beneficial opportunity for all parties to grow together. Mentors and mentees are carefully matched based on common interests, aspirations and, when desired, faith connections. 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. Kinship is currently offering virtual mentoring or traditional 1:1 in person mentoring due to COVID-19. 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.
