Children and teens belong with their own families whenever possible. KVC works to safely reunify 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 children and teens. Relatives, non-related kin like teachers and neighbors, and foster parents are all critical to providing temporary care for these children and teens. See how you can make a difference as a foster parent.

Want to Foster or Adopt? Sign Up for the Virtual Class
The need for safe, loving foster homes is at an all-time high. As a result, we’re excited to present the option to begin your journey to becoming a foster or adoptive parent from the comfort of your own home.
This FREE training course will provide you with all the trauma-informed information and education required from the State of Kansas to become a licensed foster and/or adoptive home. Each one of these classes is virtual, which means you can complete them from the safety of your home via a weekly Zoom meeting.
Each class is 9 weeks long, meeting once a week for 3 hours. This course is required to foster or adopt but also has many exciting features! NTDC will help you build a toolbox of knowledge as you help children in need who have experienced trauma, it is live instructor led by agency workers and foster parents to provide you with lots of tools in your foster care journey, as well as access to lots of additional trainings you can do independently at any time! All potential parents in the home are required to attend together. Please let me know if any of these classes may be an option for you.
