Description

KidLine is a telephone mentoring program matching children age 6-13 with mentors over age 50. Mentors provide friendship, support, guidance and reassurance to children.

KidLine seeks mentors who like children and can appreciate a telephone based relationship. KidLine children may be those that do not have grandparents, live in a busy household or simply want the attention from a caring older adult. KidLine provides training and ongoing support to all mentors. Mentors and children meet in person at a year end dinner celebration. Mentoring makes a difference in the lives of children!
