KYLIE BLANKENSHIP gets help with registration from
Kim McNamara of Olympic College ShelteR.
SOCK kids visit
college campus
To get an early start on planning want to do when they grow up.
fbr college, young people in KWiP,
the Kids With Potential mentoring
program, recently took a field trip
to Olympic College Shelton.
KWiP is a federally funded
mentoring program run by SOCK,
or Save Our County's Kids, that
matches local fourth- through
eighth-graders with two high-
school mentors each, plus an adult
community mentor. Kelsey Mar-
tin-Keating is the program man-
ager. She said:
"We want to help the boys and
girls in our mentoring program set
goals for their future, and to take
steps now to achieve those goals•
Our mentoring program does this
through activities including aca-
demic and social mentoring, edu-
cational field trips like this one,
and performance awards."
Ron Childers, vice president of
student services, led the young
people on a tour of Olympic College
Shelton on March 20. The college
also provided the children with
pizza and informationdl packets
and a registration form so the kids
could practice enrolling in college.
Kim McNamara, the campus di-
rector, presented a slide show that
helped the kids think about why
they should go to college, and then
how to do it.
The kids on the trip were given
a chance to talk about what they
Then they found out which edu-
cational pathways they needed to
follow to reach their goal. "Many of
these kids will be the first in their
family to attend college, and every
one of them has a dream they want
to follow," Martin-Keating said.
"When one of our kids was asked
if he had learned anything new
on the trip, h4 replied, 'I learned I
wanted to go to college!'"
Several of the young were excit-
ed to learn they could earn the de-
grees they need right here in Shel-
ton and said they now planned to
attend Olympic College either as
Running Start students while still
in high school or after they gradu-
ate from high school. "There are
kids in the mentoring program who
want to be veterinarians, nurses,
doctors, pediatricians, teachers,
corrections officers, police officers,
massage therapists and chefs,"
Martin-Keating continued. "The
message of the day was this: If you
can dream it, you can achieve itl"
The KWiP mentoring program
is always looking for caring teen-
age and adult mentors willing to
share an hour a week with youth.
Anyone interested in becoming
a volunteer mentor may contact
Kelsey Martin-Keating by e-mail
at kelsey@sock.org, going to the
Web site at www.sock.org or
calling her at 462-5947.
