We know, we know. Halloween is over. But we couldn’t move on without sharing these pumpkins! 🎃😂

A few of our matches sent us pictures from their pumpkin carving and decorating adventures, and we had to show off their work.

Thanks to our mentors for making time for the fun stuff and sending us pictures so we can enjoy it, too. 🧡

⛳️💚 $12,750 for kids in our community!

We are incredibly grateful to the Robinwood Classic Golf Tournament for raising an AMAZING $12,750 for Companions for Children’s Greatest Needs Fund! 👏

Our Greatest Needs Fund was created to help us step in when a child or family in one of our programs has a need that falls outside of traditional mentoring. Sometimes, supporting a child means making sure they have the basics they need to feel comfortable, confident, and cared for. Funds raised through the Robinwood Classic have helped us provide things like new shoes, socks, undergarments, feminen products, Halloween costumes so children can participate in the fun, and Thanksgiving meal boxes for families who could use a little extra support during the holidays. ❤️

These funds have also allowed us to respond to needs beyond our own walls, including helping create the Reset Room at Jim Hill Middle School, giving students a dedicated space to regulate, reset, and return to their school day ready to learn. That’s what makes the Greatest Needs Fund so special: when a need comes up, we have the ability to say, “We can help.”

To everyone who organized, sponsored, participated in, and supported the Robinwood Classic Golf Tournament — THANK YOU.

Your generosity is making a very real, very tangible difference for children right here in our community. 🫶

And a very special thank you to The Vardon Golf Club for hosting this incredible event and providing the perfect place to bring everyone together for a great cause. ⛳️

$12,750 raised. Countless needs met. A whole lot of kids reminded that their community is behind them. 💚We are so grateful for this partnership!

A little pumpkin painting, a little catching up. 🎃💛

Our Lunch Pals make time for both! It’s the familiar face, the weekly visit, and having someone excited to hear about your day that make this program special.

The pumpkin decorating skills? A bonus. 😊

A little hocus pocus and a lunch date with your favorite person. 🎃💜 Our Lunch Pals are getting crafty this spooky season!

Share this post and tag someone who could help a student see what’s possible for their future! 💛

A Minot High student has told us, “That’s a job I want to learn about.” Now we want to find someone who can bring it to life for them. That could be you or someone you know!

We’ve filled some spots, but we still need people in the careers listed in our original post.

It’s 50 minutes on November 4. No presentation, no prep. Just a conversation about what you do, how you got there, and what you’ve learned along the way.

What feels like a normal workday to you could be a whole new possibility to a student.

Take a look, tag your people, and help us make those connections! 😊

𝗠𝗶𝗻𝗼𝘁, 𝘄𝗲’𝘃𝗲 𝗴𝗼𝘁 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗿 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲!👋

Our World of Work students at Minot High School have told us which careers they want to explore. Now we need your help finding the people who do them!

The ask is simple: 𝟓𝟎 𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐮𝐭𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐢𝐭 𝐝𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐚 𝐬𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐤 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐣𝐨𝐛. How you got started, what a typical day looks like, and the things they won’t find in a job description. 😂

We provide conversation prompts, so there’s no presentation or prep needed.

Give a mentor and a child a LEGO kit, and suddenly there’s a lot to talk about. Starting with whether we actually need the instructions. 😂

Having something to do together helps conversation come naturally. It gives our matches time to get comfortable, laugh, and get to know each other.

Aspire Credit Union helped make more of those moments possible this year through donated activities and financial support for our mentoring programs. Thank you to their team, members, and everyone who pitched in!

Here’s a peek at that support in action. 🧡 Aspire also shared the story behind our partnership. You’ll find the article linked in the comments!

Her passion for our mission, unwavering dedication to the kids we serve, and genuine love for the people around her are just a few of the things that make her so special. She leads with heart, believes in her team, and reminds us every day that the work we do truly matters.

We couldn’t let today pass without reminding her just how loved and appreciated she is. Thank you for everything you do, Heather. We’re so grateful to have you in our corner! 💕

Here’s to strong leadership, big hearts, kicking your feet up once in a while, and an endless supply of Diet Coke!🥤💐
