You’ve got goals, even if you’re still figuring them out. Whether you want a job, your own place someday or just want to know what happens after foster care, KVC is here to help you take that next step.

This event is just for teens in foster care (14+), no matter what agency you’re with. You’ll connect with people who actually get it and who are here to help (not talk at you).

What’s in it for you?

✔ Free food and music
✔ Fun prizes and a TikTok booth (When you attend, you’ll have the chance to win $25 Chipotle, $100 DICK’S Sporting Goods/Scheels or $100 Target gift cards!)
✔ Learn how to open and manage a bank account with experts from UMB Bank
✔ Find out about housing options from Hillcrest Transitional Housing
✔ Talk to DCF about life after care
✔ Learn more about SOUL Family (a new legal permanency option)
✔ Check out education + job training options with JCCC and Job Corps
✔ Pick up job apps and info on local business and programs that can support you

It’s a chill, no-pressure space to ask questions, meet people who care and get the tools you need to take charge of your future.

Foster parents: Bring the teens in your care to explore future-focused resources in a supportive, judgment-free space.
