The Pack Drumline performed at the University of Minnesota Morris Campus as part of their Performing Arts Series. Big Shout Out to Liz and UMM for inviting RUSC Kinship! It was a loud and wild night, but oh so fun!!

Graduation of Mentees

Turning 18 also means graduating from the RUSC Kinship program. We have two mentees who are graduating from our program. Saqqara & Jeanne have been matched since 2016 and Gay & Daniel have been matched since 2018.

RUSC Kinship at the Humane Society

RUSC Kinship wanted to give back. We made cat and dog treats and beds for our furry friends at the Stevens County Humane Society. The treats were certainly a hit with our furry friends!
