Meet David, a second grader from Brainerd. He is 8 years old and, to use his words, is hoping for a “grown-up friend”. David lives with his grandparents and older sister and has no contact with his parents. An outgoing and active boy who gets along with everyone, David is waiting for a positive male role model to have some fun with.
David enjoys inside and outside activities: four wheeling, camping, bike riding, sledding, board games, movies and reading. He would like to learn to canoe someday and math is his favorite subject in school.
Mentoring is simple and the most successful relationships are built around common shared activities and interests. Kinship Partners provides the support, structure and supervision needed to make sure everyone experiences a safe and positive relationship. You only need to be yourself — a caring adult, willing to spend time with a child who needs a role model.
Will you consider becoming a mentor to a child; maybe even David?
