MENTOR Minnesota recruits caring adults to help introduce a child to new ideas and opportunities through mentoring. Here’s one of the kids who could use a mentor’s help.

First name: Addie

Age: 5, entering kindergarten in the fall

Location: Farmington

Interests: Playing outside, being on her bike (she can ride a two-wheeler), coloring (she knows her colors in rainbow order), playing with her dolls, watching her shows, painting nails, being with her mommy and brother.

Personality/Characteristics: Addie is a wonderful happy soul. She is very shy in the beginning but warms up quickly. She is a princess full of energy ready to get her knees dirty just to have fun. She definitely likes to keep up with her big brother!

Goals/dreams: She is excited to go to kindergarten this fall!
