Mentors provide support, and encouragement to elementary age kids. We have mentors from all walks of life including college students, working adults, and retires. All mentors receive training and ongoing support from Kids Can staff. Inspire kids to become their best selves!
What kinds of activities do mentors and mentees do together?
Mentor pairs decide what fun things they want to do. Activities range from playing chess to baking a pizza to performing science experiments!

Where does mentoring take place? The mentoring takes place on-site at Kids Can Community Center on 48th & Q Street anytime from 4:30 PM to 6:00 PM.
*Due to COVID restrictions Kids Can students have not had our mentoring program between 2020-Fall 2023, we are thrilled to be able to return mentoring to our young people. Connecting young people with caring adults can help combat challenges of isolation, social and emotional health, and academic achievement.
