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: Jada

Age: 9

Interests: Jada is a kid on the move! She loves bowling, gymnastics, waterparks, art & crafts, and drawing. She’s also a fan of soccer and volleyball. She wants a mentor who likes to be girly!

Personality/Characteristics: Mom says she struggles to find her own voice. Big siblings speak/protect her, but as the youngest, she is trying to break out of that. Tends to get lost in her own thoughts and world sometimes.

Goals/dreams: If she had a genie, her three wishes would be to: 1) Get her own new Crocks with pegs! 2) have a Nintendo Switch 3) Get more wishes! When she grows up she wants to be a veterinarian. Animal lovers encouraged to apply!
