Making a Difference One Friendship at a Time

aka Kinship   |   Little Falls, MN   |  https://www.kinshipofmc.org/

Mission

Kinship of Morrison County is dedicated to the premise that children need, and can benefit from the guidance and companionship of a mature adult friend. Our purpose is to provide this one-to-one friendship in the most wholesome way possible with the intention that the child could show noticeable improvement in personal development.

Kinship matches youth who have an absent parent with a caring adult volunteer. These mentors become role models and friends for at least one year.

Kinship Youth Mentoring

Kinship is a youth mentoring program which serves at-risk youth living in Morrison County or the greater Long Prairie area. Kinship youth do not live with both parents, i.e. single parent home, step-parent, guardian or foster home.  We recruit compassionate adult volunteers to serve these youth as role models, friends & mentors. Kinship uses both 1:1 and family based matches.

In addition, Kinship hosts group mentoring activities on a regular basis. These activities range in topic greatly (i.e. canoeing, baking, fishing, biking, etc.) and are intended to bring matches and unmatched youth & adults together. Positive interaction & friendship between the youth and adults in attendance in the key.
