Testimonials
“Our family mentored a pair of siblings for about 3 years. It was great to be involved as a family showing our own children at the time to give to others and to share their time in a positive way. This non profit organization works hard to match children through out Dakota County with a positive role model. Please consider being a mentor.”
“Great organization dedicated to improving the lives of youth in Dakota County! This organization has a great group of mentors committed to helping prepare youth for the future while having fun. Engaged, caring staff facilitate mentor/mentee matches and remain available to provide guidance and support throughout the ongoing relationship.”
“She is an amazing mentor and is one more positive role model for my child. And I, as her guardian, want to bring as many positive people as I can that will bring value into her life. Our mentor and this program have most definitely fulfilled that need.”
“I have been involved in Kids ‘n Kinship for over 5 years now and am currently mentoring my second mentee. This is a great organization to provide role models to kids that are missing that in their life. Thru our weekly visits we normally try to do something outside like biking in the summers and hiking or snowshoeing in the winters. He is a video game guy and normally never leaves the house. School attendance has been an issue for him and one of my goals is to see him graduate from high school. He is currently in the 10th grade.
If it was not for this mentorship program he would still be indoors every day and not in school. “
“Well, Kids ‘n Kinship has helped me gain some skills like baking and learning history.”
“A beautiful friendship has been formed. She has benefited in a very positive way from this friendship.”
“I looked forward to my mentor coming and would sit by the window and watch for her because I knew whatever we would do would let help me forget about the stress in my own home…..I never cared what we did, just that I got to go and be with someone that I trusted and always had fun with.”
