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.

(DATE MAY CHANGE)
4:00 PM - 11:30 PM
Bus from Historic Courthouse
Kinship youth & volunteers are invited to travel to Target Field this summer to watch the Twins baseball team in action. We applied for tickets from the Twins donation program and had to list multiple dates. July 2nd was our first choice, but it isn’t for sure until we hear back.
Regardless of the date, the game will be at 6:40 PM. We will take a bus from the courthouse. Tickets, transportation & a meal will be covered. You may want to bring a few dollars for extra concessions or a souvenir. There will be a maximum of 50 seats, so once the date is confirmed, tickets will be on a first come, first serve basis.
Please RSVP ASAP through the form below or by calling Kinship at (320) 632-8806.
