In honor of January being National Mentoring Month, Kids 'n Kinship is posting a waiting child each week here on our blog. Please consider mentoring a child! We have almost 40 kids waiting for an adult, couple, or family to befriend them!

First name: Phoenix
Age: 13
Interests: Phoenix like shopping and talking - at school she likes life science and math. She also like crafts, music and visiting.
Personality/Characteristics: She struggles with peer pressure and makes friends easily. Her single parent mom is looking for a mentor Phoenix can look up to and trust and who can give her daughter positive guidance and the opportunity for activities.
Goals/Dreams: Phoenix is in 8th grade and would like a mentor to hang out with, go out to eat and watch all kinds of movies!

For more information: Phoenix is waiting for a mentor through Kids n’ Kinship.
