Take Action Wednesday - Cloquet Based 9 year old Looking for a Mentor!

All About Me
I’m very bubbly and friendly. I love doing all sorts of activities, both indoors and outdoors. I like arts and crafts, singing, rollerblading, gymnastics, movies, and searching for agates. I love animals and really want to hold a chicken.

What I Want in a Mentor
I want a mentor of any gender or age, but I would prefer a mentor in their 20's. I want them to be kind and do makeovers with me. It would be fun to go to restaurants, an alpaca farm, the aquarium, Jay Cooke State Park, and the library.

Fun Fact!
My favorite animal is the great white shark because they are cute!

Match Story Monday!

This week, we're celebrating our Mentor Charity and youth Aspyn who have been matched since July 2025.

When we asked Aspyn about some of her favorite activities with Charity she shared, “I liked painting rocks, going to the beach and playing giant bubbles, going to the zoo and planting cacti.”

Aspyn also shared a proud match moment: “I tried mountain biking through a train tunnel (Ely’s Peak) with my mentor and I loved it!”

Mentor Charity shared what she has learned recently through her match: “I have learned all about Taylor Swift's greatest hits and new releases. I have also learned I can have hope in the next generation if they are as curious, kind and energetic as my match.”

Finally, Charity shared a great mentoring moment with us: “One of my most endearing memories from this summer was playing in the low water at little Manitou Falls. Aspyn was able to catch frogs with her bare hands and also minnows! She delighted in exploring the underwater world and was excited to share that if you laid your hand against the rock under the algae, the little minnows would come nibble the algae off your fingers. I wouldn't have thought to try that without her. Seeing her try new things and take joy in novel experiences warms my heart and makes me care about her even more.”
