Kinship at our core
Centering kin.
Building belonging.
Kinnect is built on the belief that family is the foundation of stability and belonging. At Kinnect, we believe every young person deserves the dignity of family. Since our founding, we’ve worked alongside youth, caregivers, agencies, and communities to create a child welfare system that values connection over separation. We are system changers, advocates, and partners — united by the belief that kin is family and family is kin.
National spotlight on
Kinnect's Impact
We are honored to share that Kinnect has been featured in Casey Family Programs’ latest Impact Report and companion video, highlighting our commitment to building and strengthening kinship connections for children and families. This recognition is a testament to the hard work of our team, the dedication of our partners, and the transformative power of a KinFirst approach.
