There are so may ways to Get Involved with RUSC Kinship. We would love to have you join us in supporting the youth Stevens County! Discover how to get involved:

 

Become a Mentor

Make a lasting impact by becoming a mentor! You’ll be matched with a young person from our community and commit to just one year (or more!), spending at least four hours per month together. Your time and guidance can truly change a life!

Lunch Buddy Program

Looking for a way to make a difference during the school day? Our Lunch Buddy program pairs volunteers with second-grade students for lunch and a special activity during the school year. It’s a small commitment with a big impact!

Support the Dolly Parton Imagination Library (DPIL)

Help foster a love of reading! You can sponsor a portion of the monthly postage or fund the cost of books for a child in our community. Every child deserves access to great books, and your support helps make that happen. 

Become a Champion of Kinship

Join our Champions of Kinship program by making a monthly donation to RUSC Kinship. Your recurring support helps sustain and grow our programs, ensuring continued mentorship opportunities for local youth. 

Sponsor a Community Patio Brick

Have a brick custom engraved and laid in a “Community Patio” at Pomme De Terre Park in Morris – honor family, friends, loved ones, pets, an organization, favorite cause, or in memoriam for a special person.

Be a Volunteer

We have a number of short-term volunteer opportunities available, and we encourage you to donate your time to one or more of them.
