MENTORSHIP PROGRAMS

Mentorship programs provide an opportunity to safely build connections between kids in foster care and the public while providing productive experiences and caring relationships for the youth. Our mentorship programs engage business, citizens and faith communities that give kids internships, jobs, and, ideally, a lasting mentoring relationship.

Some kids who are in the system are not open to adoption or not available to be adopted. Regardless, these kids still need a caring adult in their lives. Research indicates that without a consistent, caring parent figure, children cannot grow to their full potential – and instead grow up with severe social, emotional, psychological and cognitive delays. As adults, they are less likely to complete school and more susceptible to homelessness, becoming involved in crime, and having children at a young age. Due to their lack of parental care and skills, their offspring frequently suffer the same detrimental cycle.

By connecting a child with a caring mentor to serve as a positive role model and supporter, we are helping to break this cycle.

Kidsave currently operates mentorship programs in the U.S., Ukraine, and Colombia.
