Serving Pine County
Our Vision
Dedicated to serving young people throughout Pine County, we are forging the way to provide opportunities for academic
and social support for our region's youth.
Our work to create a sustainable program designed for the healthy development of youth will have lasting impact on the schools, organizations, churches, businesses, and communities of Pine County in years to come.
Kettle Kinship’s philosophy of service and excellence is rooted in the belief that our children are our future. Our standard is to be mission driven, vision inspired, and goal orientated, professional, measurable, excellent, and innovative in all we do. It is within this basis that we encourage and challenge those we serve to pursue the best for their lives.
Because we see each child and family possessing unlimited potential for growth, we do not operate on the premise of being needy, but recognize all residents as assets of Pine County and of our future.
Kettle Kinship’s opportunities help prepare youth to become healthy, well-rounded adults through offering mentorship support in areas of need and/or interest for positive character development and educational enrichment. As a recognized leader in service to families, Kettle Kinship engages dynamic individuals, businesses, organizations and clubs throughout the county, to partner with and equip us to fulfill our mission, and build financial stability to accomplish and maintain our vision.
Kettle Kinship invites YOU to explore how you can help us to fulfill our mission!
