Families First
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.

KVC Hero Luncheon
Overland Park Marriott
10800 Metcalf Ave, Overland Park, KS
Each June, KVC teams up with Univ. of Kansas Men’s Basketball Coach, Bill Self. The Hero Luncheon draws 500+ people to hear about Coach Self’s unique experiences and get inspired about their own potential to be a hero. The luncheon also showcases KVC Everyday Heroes, monthly giving partners who make a tremendous difference in the lives of children by meeting essential medical, psychological, and education needs. “KVC and I both know that you don’t have to have superpowers to make a difference in the life of a child, and I am proud to be a part of this event that celebrates the heroes among us,” Coach Bill Self said.
