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.
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.
Wednesday, October 15th
4:15 - 7:15 PM
Leblancs Rice Creek (16543 Game Farm Road )
Kinship youth (age 11 & over with a firearms safety certificate) and volunteers are invited to an evening of sporting clays shooting at Rice Creek. In case you aren't familiar with sporting clays, it is a shotgun-based activity where you rotate from station to station and shoot targets that mimic birds, rabbits, etc. It is a bit challenging but a ton of fun. While we keep score, it is all about the experience:)
Kinship will cover the cost & and also has several 20 gauge shotguns that can be used. Participants can bring their own 20 or 12 gauge. The evening will conclude with a light meal highlighting a couple of wild game items. Transportation is on your own for this activity.
Please RSVP by Friday, October 3rd by using the form below.
