FINALLY! Temps are warm and weather is dry and everyone wants to get outside for their favorite outdoor activities. It's the perfect time of year to get started being a friend to a child!
The mentor match pictured above enjoys
tennis. If you are thinking of sharing summer, and year-round fun, with a
teen, consider Angelina, one of the 46 youth waiting for a mentor through Kids 'n Kinship right now.
First name: Angelina
Age: 13
Interests: Angelina enjoys biking, roller-blading,
hiking, tennis, & watching sports.
She really loves reading, drawing and writing poetry. She also loves
animals!
Personality/Characteristics: She is very creative, respectful, and
sweet. She’s excited to have a mentor
and though she might be shy at first, she would open up and become
talkative. She currently lives with her
dad and stepmom.

and that there would be no harm in the world.
She’s looking for a female mentor to get out & have fun with and
