Kinship: At a Glance
Kinship of Cumberland & Turtle Lake is a non-denominational and non-profit mentoring program that matches children, ages 5-18, with individuals and families who have the desire to help a child in their community reach their full potential.
Kinship promotes long-term friendships while encouraging low-cost or no-cost activities. Kinship offers Traditional Community Based Mentoring matches as well as a school centered Power Lunch program. Children in the Kinship program are voluntarily enrolled by a parent or guardian and live in the Cumberland or Turtle Lake School District. In addition to any activities you plan with your Kinskid, each year Kinship of Cumberland and Turtle Lake coordinates free large group activities for Kinskids & Mentors!
The majority of the children enrolled in our program come from single-parent homes that are racially and economically diverse.
