KINSHIP YOUTH MENTORING OF PRINCETON
Kinship Youth Mentoring is a private , nonprofit organization that exists to better the lives of children in the Princeton school district , by providing them with adult mentors . It offers mentors to children ages 5-15 . Mentors are carefully matched with their Kinskid ( mentee ) through a series of questions and interviews .
A mentor agrees to spend at least one year with their Kinskid . During that year they are required to spend 6-10 hours a month together during weekly contact . Time spent with their Kinskid can be activities such as taking a walk in the park , going to a movie or roller skating or even as easy as picking out a book together at the library . We also plan monthly events for the mentors and Kinskids to attend together once a month . The important part about being a mentor is creating a bond with their Kinskid . That bond helps to promote stability , support , friendship and community .
The Kinship Youth Mentoring of Princeton program is headed by part time Director , Lisa Gruba , and overseen by a Board of Directors from the community . You can find us on our website at kinshipprinceton . org , Facebook , Instagram , email at info @ kinshipyouthprinceton . org or 763-220-5326 .
