Enjoying Summer? Share it with Angelina!

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. 

Goals/Dreams:  Angelina wishes her family would get closer and that there would be no harm in the world.  She’s looking for a female mentor to get out & have fun with and also to have someone to talk to.

Individuals, couples, and families are invited to be a friend to a child age 5-16 through Kids 'n Kinship, a private non-profit serving Apple Valley, Burnsville, Eagan, Farmington, Lakeville & Rosemount for over 40 years.  All it takes is an hour or two a week including a child or teen in activities you already do and showing that you care about them.  Become a mentor and make a difference in the life of a child!
