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

This is a first time event for Kinship aimed at our female youth & volunteers and will be hosted by Claire Berg (a new volunteer in 2024 who is matched with Abby) at her home. Activity details will be upcoming, but a careful look at the poster above will give a clue or three:) Please RSVP ASAP through the form below or by calling Kinship at (320) 632-8806.

Roadside Cleanup

Kinship youth & volunteers will be doing a roadside cleanup on Wednesday, April 30th. Ideally we would have about 16 volunteers (including at least 4 adults) to help. Meet at the Falls Ballroom parking lot at 4:50 pm. The group will be picking trash on about 2 miles of Hawthorn Road (road that goes by the fairgrounds). Kinship has the garbage bags, reflective vests and bottled water for folks. Dress for the weather, but wear close-toed shoes, and bring gloves. Once we have cleanup up the ditches the group will head to Pizza Ranch for dinner (Kinship's treat) and will be done at 8 PM. Please RSVP ASAP through the form below or by calling Kinship at (320) 632-8806.
