Meet the dedicated staff and board members guiding Kids Belong with experience, compassion, and a shared commitment to supporting foster families and youth transitioning into independent adulthood.
Jeff and Katie have been foster parents since 2011. They’ve fostered many, many kids in both short term and long term circumstances. They have a few biological children and have adopted several others. They continue to provide foster care, respite care, and are spearheading the First Place program, giving supportive housing to youth who age out of foster care.
Our Board of Directors provides strategic guidance, oversight, and support to advance the mission and long-term impact of Kids Belong.
