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

Volunteer Appreciation Night

Monday, November 3rd

6:30 - 8:30 PM

Cary's on the Course (LF Golf Course)

As you all know, our Kinship program is very lean staff-wise as I am full-time and Becky works part-time specifically with interviews and matches. What that means is that you, our volunteers, make the front line, big picture impact, on the youth enrolled in Kinship's youth mentoring program. 🙂 That impact is made through our 1:1 and family-based matches, through our group mentoring activities and also through our fundraisers (i.e. the Cook-off & Fish Fry)

As a thank you to each of you, we are hosting a volunteer appreciation night on Monday, November 3 from 6:30 - 8:30 PM at Cary's on the Course (Little Falls Golf Course), which will include dinner, fellowship and a program. PLEASE, plan to attend and RSVP by October 28th (Many of you have already registered). You are encouraged to invite a guest (ideally someone who may consider becoming a mentor).

I look forward to sharing the evening with many of you as a way to celebrate your enthusiasm, commitment & efforts with Kinship. Note: Many of you have already RSVP'd. If If you are unable to attend due to your schedule, please let me know, as if there are enough conflicts, we will consider rescheduling.
