Enjoy bike-riding & puzzles? Be a friend to Michelangelo!

Summer is a great time to get started mentoring youth! If you love spending time outdoors, please consider sharing just an hour or two with youth who are desperate to get outside this summer! Kids 'n Kinship has 50 kids age 5-16 waiting for someone to spend time with them. See below for a profile of just one youth:

Name: Michelangelo

Age: 6

Interests: Michelangelo enjoys watching movies, playing with legos, puzzles, games, snowball fights, sledding, bike riding, hockey & soccer.

Personality/Characteristics: He is fun-loving, friendly, goofy, and active. He lives with his mom and 4 other siblings.
