Get outdoors with a youth in need!

Kids 'n Kinship is looking for guys to spend time with youth this summer.  Volunteers meet with a child once a week for fun time doing sports, hobbies, & exploring the great outdoors.  Consider being a friend to a young man like Alvin!

First name: Alvin

Age:  8

Interests:  Alvin loves football, soccer, & baseball.  He also enjoys sledding, bowling, movies, playing games, and going places like GrandSlam & Valleyfair.

Personality/Characteristics:  He is easy-going but active. His three favorite people are Batman, the Hulk, and Spiderman. Alvin lives with his single parent mom and his younger sister who already has a mentor.

Goals/Dreams:  Alvin would like to learn how to snowboard.  He would also love a key to open any door.  He’s looking for a male mentor, couple, or family with older kids to have fun with him.  

For more information: Alvin is waiting for a mentor through Kids n’ Kinship in Dakota County. To learn more about this agency, contact Kids n’ Kinship at www.kidsnkinship.orgor 952-892-6368.
