Hurricane Dorian is impacting millions of people in the southeastern United States and the Bahamas. As we watch this natural disaster unfold, the staff here at VolunteerMatch is doing our part to ensure that if you are in an affected community, you are prepared and safe. And if you are looking to help an affected community, you are properly trained or informed about the most effective ways to contribute. From all of us here at VolunteerMatch: please stay safe.
Make a meaningful difference in the life of a child or teen!
Kids 'n Kinship is a youth mentoring program in Dakota County enabling individuals (21+), couples, and families to make a positive difference in the life of a youth (age 5-16). As a volunteer community-based mentor you would get together with your matched mentee for an hour or two each week participating in low cost or no cost activities like biking, playing catch, playing board games, drawing or crafts, going to the park, eating dinner together, and visiting the library. The schedule is super-flexible and we provide training, free and reduced passes to area attractions, and ongoing support. Join us in building a stronger community through youth mentoring!
