Families First
Children and teens belong with their own families whenever possible. KVC works to safely reintegrate hundreds of families each year by providing parenting skills training, therapy and other support.
Caring People Needed
On any given day, KVC Kansas provides out-of-home care for thousands of youth. Relatives, non-related kin like teachers and neighbors, and foster families are all critical to providing temporary care for these children and teens. See how you can make a difference.

2022 Resource Family Conference
September 30, 2022 - October 1, 2022
September 30 – October 1, 2022
We’re excited to announce this year’s Resource Family Conference will be held in-person on September 30 and October 1, 2022! This is a wonderful opportunity for Resource Families (which includes relatives and foster families) to come together for a fun weekend on us. We will be providing hotel rooms at the Double Tree Hotel in Overland Park for out-of-town caregivers (those who live more than 60 miles from the hotel), dinner on Friday night, and Saturday at the Kansas City Zoo with lunch provided.
While we typically use the RFC to provide helpful training, this year we want to focus on support and appreciation because we can provide a wide range of CEU options virtually and in-person throughout the year to meet your training needs.
Additional details:
Friday Night
- We have rooms reserved at the Double Tree In Overland Park for out-of-town foster parents (those who live more than 60 miles from the hotel). These rooms are on a first-come, first-serve basis. The hotel is offering a discounted rate if you’d like to stay an additional night: $129 for a double room and $119 for a king room (this additional night won’t be covered by KVC).
- Dinner Friday night is at the Double Tree. ALL Resource Families are welcome to dinner (in-town and out-of-town).
- Registration bags, a give-away room, community booths, games and prizes will be available for attendees.
- No childcare will be provided, but this is a family-friendly dinner
Saturday
