KIC Beliefs and Goals

Board of Directors & Staff

Since so many factors affect the overall health and wellbeing of children, KIC takes a holistic view with a focus on three major spheres of influence: communities, families and selves.

Concentrating on these spheres of influence, we have identified three goals that represent our desired outcomes for children in our community:

  1. Children are physically, socially and emotionally healthy
  2. Children are prepared for and succeed in school
  3. Children live in safe and stable families and communities

To accomplish these profound goals, we base our recommendations, policy decisions and action plans on data and believe collaboration with community based organizations, governmental agencies and financial supporters is essential to answer the call of children in need.

 

Our Guiding Principles:

  • Partnership – building strategic alliances with other organizations, both within and outside the health and human services arena
  • Collaboration –working in concert with and valuing the success of member organizations, interested parties and other related groups
  • Independence – pursuing those issues and strategies that represent and support the best interests of children and their families in our community
  • Integrity – guided by what is best for children in our community, reliable in every commitment made, authentic in word and deed
  • Diversity – respecting, understanding, and integrating a wide range of perspectives, people and ideas
  • Non-Partisan – being free from political party affiliation
