Kids ‘n Kinship provides friendships and positive role models to children and youth ages 5-16 who are in need of an additional supportive relationship with an adult. Here’s one of the youth waiting for a mentor:
First name: Kory
Age: 15
Interests: Kory loves food, especially Buffalo Wild Wings, tacos, and chicken! He enjoys collecting and learning all about trains, so would love to find a mentor who is also a train enthusiast.
Personality/Characteristics: He is talkative, confident, and is becoming a teenager. His mom would love a male mentor to help support him as he grows and explores interests. He is a kind kid who makes friends easily. Mom is looking for a male role model to be a positive influence on him and be a solid presence to spend time with.
Goals/dreams: He would like a mentor, mentor couple or mentor family. If he could have three wishes he would: Get a Nike Tech Jacket, have lots of money, and get an entire box of Taco Bell to himself. When he grows up he wants to be a train conductor. He had his first job this summer at a tree landscaper and enjoyed the experience and received great reviews from his team leader and supervisor. He would love a mentor who continues to offer him guidance and direction for his future and help him pursue his goals.
