Be A Mentor

I became a MENTOR because I wanted to give.    However, what I didn't realize is  how much I would get. 

Give a little time, get a lot in return. It only takes a few hours a month to make a huge difference in the life of a child.  Mentoring makes a difference in helping youth stay off drugs and do better in school so they can fulfill their dreams.   Kinship of Rice Lake and Cameron provides careful screening, quality training, and follow-up support for mentors. 

CAN YOU KEEP A PROMISE?  

If yes, please consider contacting Kinship to see if mentoring a youth is a volunteer opportunity for you. 

OUR MENTORS

KINSHIP MENTORS ARE INDIVIUALS, COUPLE OR FAMILIES WILLING AND ABLE TO INVEST IN A FRIENDSHIP WITH A CHILD. WE ASK OUR

MENTORS TO MEET WITH THEIR MATCH ONCE A WEEK FOR A MINIUM OF ONE YEAR AND DO ORDINARY THINGS SUCH AS GOING FOR WALKS,

EATING DINNER TOGETHER, MAKING CONSISTENT TIME TOGETHER

OFTEN GROWS INTO A LONG-LASTING FRIENDSHIP BUILT ON TRUST, MUTUAL RESPECT & COMMON INTERESTS.

MATCHES

MATCHES ARE MADE BY TAKING MANY FACTORS, SUCH AS LOCATION &

INTERESTS INTO ACCOUNT. AS THE RELATIONSHIP GROWS, KINSHIP

OFFERS INFORMATION, TRAINING FOR MENTORS AND FOLLOW-UP TO HELP SUPPORT THE MATCH. BECAUSE THE MATCHES ARE TAILORED TO THE PEOPLE INVOLVED, MANY MATCHES CONTINUE WELL BEYOND THE ONE YEAR TIME COMMITMENT.

ACTIVITIES 

KINSHIP OFFERS MONTHLY ACTIVITIES FOR ALL OF OUR KIDS (MATCHES & WAITING), AND OUR MENTORS. WE FEEL THESE ACTIVITIES ARE AN

ESSENTIAL PART OF OUR PROGRAM. IT PROVIDES OUR MATCHED AND KIDS OPPORTUNITIES TO COME TOGETHER AS A GROUP AND FEEL A “PART OF SOMETHING. THE

 ACTIVITIES ARE CHOSEN TO PROVIDE NEW EXPERIENCES, EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES AND TO IMPROVE SOCIAL SKILLS.
