Kinship Child & Youth Application

Dear Parent or Guardian,

Thank you so much for your interest in your child becoming a mentee of Kinship the Park Rapids Area.

The mentor’s role is that of a friend, coach, and guide. A mentor would meet with your child at least six hours a month and make weekly contact for a year.

Kinship also offers monthly group activities which are optional for the mentor and child to attend. A few of the traditional activities include swim parties, biking, cooking dinner, sledding, and pumpkin carving. Kinship occasionally offers special events for Kinship youth in grades 5-12 and their mentors including college tours.
