Kinship of Greater Minneapolis provides long-term friendships to children, ages 5-15, from single-parent families. Kinship operates as an interdenominational Christian ministry. At-risk children who need additional adult support are paired with a caring individual, couple, or family and spend time together once a week for at least a year.
Currently, 285 children are matched in the program, but over 100 children are waiting for a Kinship friend.
Kinship is a national organization with 21 affiliates in the state.
