Kinship is mentoring program working primarily with low income families. We offer Christmas programing to help make sure they can have a brighter holiday than otherwise would be able to have. Kinship needs a group of active volunteers to help for a couple of hours sorting through toys for a later "shopping for siblings" program.
We need adults who can sort toys according to age and gender without stopping to play with every toy!! Can you help us get ready for this big event for the children to pick out toys for their brothers and sisters?
This site is located near Highway 694 and Hwy 65 near the large Medtronic Complex
This works great for a corporate activity!

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.
