A Message from Gail

Hello Friends,

Welcome to the new year! I want to extend my gratitude to everyone who has contributed to building stronger, happier families in the past year. Through our programs, we have connected with countless families in Kansas and have seen their successes firsthand. As we enter another year together, I want to emphasize the timelessness of our mission, vision and values at Kansas Children’s Service League (KCSL).

KCSL’s Mission and Vision Statement

At KCSL, our mission remains clear: to protect and promote the well-being of children. We carry this mission statement through everything we do and view it as a foundation for building stronger families. Guided by our vision that every child is raised in a loving family and lives in a safe, nurturing community, we work to support families as they overcome challenges to become happier.

KCSL’s Value Statements

Stronger, happier families are built on a foundation of love, support and a village of people who believe in them. Our value statements ensure that every family we work with feels seen, heard and supported by our team at KCSL.
