Kinship Activities

Why does Kinship host activities

Kinship hosts group mentoring activity throughout the year. These activities are planned to provide an opportunity for all Kinkids (matched or unmatched) and volunteers to get together and to enjoy conversation, constructive interaction and fellowship. Kinship sponsored activities are an excellent way for our matches to share experiences together, along with other Kinship matches. Unmatched Kinkids and volunteers benefit from the activities as they are "matched up" just for that activity; benefiting from their temporary friendship.

Activities have a wide variety of topics, and are either educational, recreational or community-service oriented (or a combination). A few examples include canoeing, fishing, baking Christmas goodies, going to a baseball game and a Veterans Program. Below are pictures highlighting Kinship's recent group mentoring activities.

Who can attend?

Kinship group activities are open only to Kinship youth and screened adult volunteers unless otherwise stated, providing a positive mentoring experience for all.

Adults interested in becoming a group mentor at Kinship activities must complete the same screening process as our 1:1 & family mentors.

Upcoming Kinship Activities

Ice Fishing

Sunday, February 1st

Exact Time & Location TBD

Kinship youth & volunteers are invited to an afternoon / evening of ice fishing on a local lake on February 1st. The lake will be picked in mid January depending on ice / snow conditions and the “bite.” No experience or equipment is necessary, just warm clothes (think layers) and a fishing license for those over 16 years of age.

We are in need of volunteers to bring ice houses / shelters, so we can hold the event comfortably & safely in any weather (other than a huge blizzard:) Please let Kinship know if you can bring a house / shelter or fishing equipment to share.

We will plan to eat on the lake, with a menu TBD.

Please RSVP ASAP.
