What You Need to Know about Kinship of Cumberland and Turtle Lake!

  • Kinship of Cumberland & Turtle Lake is a non-denominational mentoring program that matches children, ages 5-15, with individuals and families who have the desire to help a child in their community.
  • Kinship promotes long-term friendships while encouraging low-cost or no-cost activities on weekly outings. Kinship mentors volunteer to spend time with their Kinschild once a week for at least one year.
  • Children in the Kinship program are voluntarily enrolled by a parent or guardian and live in the Cumberland or Turtle Lake School District.
  • The majority of the children come from single-parent homes that are racially and economically diverse.

Wanted: Male Mentors

We have 16 children on our waiting list, 14 of those children are boys. Research shows that today's boys outnumber girls in learning disorders, dropout rates, violence, stuttering, obesity, gambling and video game fixations, school suspensions, hyperactivity, low grades and general disengagement.

Can you help give a boy better odds?
