Kinship: At a Glance
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.
