Kinship of Todd-Wadena Counties
Kinship is a non-profit volunteer mentor program that matches adults with children, ages 5 to 17, who need a friend. The goal is to befriend a child that, for a variety of reasons, needs a special relationship with a caring adult. Volunteers may mentor one-to-one, as a couple or as a family. They typically meet two to four hours per month.
Kinship also offers free fun activities each month for everyone in the program. It is a rewarding and learning experience for both kids and adults. Come, join the fun and make a difference.
If you want to learn more about Kinship or have an interest in being a volunteer mentor, or referring a child, contact the director, Stacy Marxer, at 218-894-2799 or toll free 1-877-631-1788.
