“I care deeply about the welfare of children and want to help give them opportunities to be the best they can be.”

“Providing the resources needed for families to stay together is a mission my family and I are honored to join.”

“Children are a top priority in my practice. My work and community involvements allow me a broad perspective of the resources available to the people I serve, not only in child abuse or neglect cases, but divorce and custody proceedings. Being part of KCSL will allow me to further my passion for serving the children of Kansas while aiding KCSL in achieving their mission: to protect and promote the well-being of children.”

“Both my sister and I were adopted as infants through KCSL. As a mother, I understood what a difficult choice that was and without organizations like KCSL, it could have been a different outcome. I want to give back to the organization that shaped my life and provide support to the families in our communities that may not find support anywhere else.”

“My passion is to take the expertise I have acquired through decades of investigating the victimization of children and use it to help KCSL’s child abuse prevention initiatives.”

“I want to be involved, make a difference and support parents, children and staff in any way possible.”

“After working in juvenile court and seeing the impact that abuse and neglect have on families and children, I believe strongly in the mission of KCSL and want to increase my involvement and support for KCSL and its programs.”

“Our law firm has been a long time partner with Kansas Children’s Service League, and I appreciate their commitment to early childhood services.”

“As an adoptive parent and supporter of KCSL, I feel that both my personal and professional experiences with child welfare are extremely valuable. I see my background as a benefit for the continued support of Kansas families. I’m excited to have an opportunity to be a KCSL Board member and share my talent.”

“I am deeply passionate about the mission of KCSL and the incredible support it provides to individuals and families within our community. The services KCSL offers are vital in fostering the growth and well-being of the next generation. Being part of KCSL will allow me to make a meaningful impact, ensuring that more individuals have the resources and support they need to thrive. I look forward to the opportunity to give back to my community in this important role and to help strengthen KCSL’s vital services for future generations.”

“As an educator, I deeply understand the unique needs of children and their families. My passion lies in advocating for children and empowering families with the tools and skills necessary to foster healthy child development.”

“Our families are the backbone of society, however they’re constructed. As a people, we can come alongside others to encourage healthy family living, which directly impacts the social, economic and spiritual well-being of everyone. My passion is to bring hope and encouragement and then see both spread.”

“Child welfare is a cause near and dear to my heart, and I want to do my part to help families in Kansas communities.”

“I love the accomplishments of KCSL. The organization is amazing and accomplishes so much. The participants in our community are learning appropriate parenting skills that they will pass on to their children. The entire KCSL team is committed to making a difference in the lives of Kansas children.”

“As a principal, I am committed to fostering a safe and supportive school environment where students and families have access to resources that strengthen their wellbeing and academic success. Collaborating with KCSL, we can provide families with the essential support systems that encourage school readiness and assist with overall development.”

“As an engaged father, I know how crucial father involvement is in a child’s early years. My daughter is now transitioning from Early Head Start to the Head Start program this fall, and I’m passionate about encouraging other fathers to take an active role in their children’s development through HS/EHS programs. My dedication to child health and well-being runs deep from coaching youth for the YMCA, Garden City Parks and Recreation, and Garden City Public Schools to now serving on the Policy Council. I hope my work inspires more fathers to engage meaningfully in their children’s lives and with KCSL’s programs.”

“As a passionate advocate for education and community empowerment, I am deeply inspired by the mission and vision of KCSL. The commitment to fostering school readiness and providing vital family support services resonates strongly with my personal values. I am eager to offer my skills and expertise with the goal of making a meaningful impact in the lives of families.”

“As a mother of four young children, both biological and adoptive, as well as a former foster parent, I have a deep personal commitment to supporting children and families. My professional experience working with families who have experienced trauma has reinforced my belief that strong, healthy communities are built upon the well-being of their children and families. I am passionate about KCSL’s mission and eager to contribute my perspective as a parent and advocate to help create safe, nurturing environment where all children can thrive.”

“I am a parent of a child who participated in KCSL programming. I think it is important to get involved and provide first hand insight about what KCSL does for families in Kansas. I come from a diverse background and have spent my life advocating for others. I am excited to continue this work and further KCSL’s mission to protect and promote the well-being of children.”

“I have been aware of child maltreatment and adversity prevention programming by KCSL for many years. Given my role as a Pediatrician, I share passion and energy for improving outcomes for children and families facing significant life challenges. Empowering families to achieve the goals they have for their children is our shared responsibility. Every child deserves the very best of health and comprehensive well‐being across their life trajectory.”

“As a father of two, I have made it a mission to help those around me find quality early childhood education for their children. In alignment with my mission, KCSL provides a nurturing space where children can develop their social and academic skills. This helps them build confidence and ignite a lifelong passion for learning. KCSL helps strengthen communities by strengthening families.”

“Our children are the future, for our communities, our state and our country. Being able to help provide resources and programs that enrich the lives of our children and more importantly the family dynamic is needed. Sitting on the sideline and wishing for things to improve won’t get the job done. One can’t complain or raise concerns but if they aren’t willing to be part of the solution, nothing changes. Becoming part of KCSL allows me the opportunity to touch more lives and make a bigger impact than anything I could do individually.”
