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.

What is RYAC?
Regional Youth Advisory Councils (RYAC) provide youth an opportunity to meet new friends, learn new life skills and visit with other peers in foster care. It provides the opportunity to become a Kansas Youth Advisory Council (KYAC) member if they so choose. Prize drawings occur on occasion.
Meetings educate youth on a variety of independent living topics to help them learn & understand life skills to gain independence and self-sufficiency as they transition to becoming successful adults. Topics for RYAC include: substance abuse, ACT & college prep, money management, employment & career planning, locating housing, navigating car ownership, self-care, health care, as well as many more!
