Parent Support & Prevention Specialist

FosterAdopt Connect

Make Your Work Matter Every Day

Are you ready to stop coming to work just to do a job?

What if you could come to work knowing that your time, energy, and compassion are helping children stay safely with their families and giving parents the support they need to thrive?

At FosterAdopt Connect, we're building something bigger than ourselves. Every day, our team works alongside children, youth, and families navigating the challenges of the child welfare system. For more than 25 years, we've been leading innovative, family-centered solutions across Kansas and Missouri, helping create brighter futures for children and stronger communities for everyone.

We believe meaningful work should also be inspiring work. That's why we've built a culture that is collaborative, supportive, diverse, and mission-driven. Here, your ideas matter, your growth is encouraged, and your impact is visible.

If you're looking for a career where you can see the difference you make in the lives of families every day, we'd love to meet you.

Why Join FosterAdopt Connect?
  • Make a direct and lasting impact on children and families.
  • Be part of a passionate team committed to preventing family crises before they happen.
  • Work for an innovative organization that values creativity, inclusion, and professional growth.
  • Help families build stability, confidence, and hope.
  • Join a mission that changes lives-one child, one parent, and one family at a time.

This isn't just a position-it's an opportunity to help families succeed, keep children safe, and create stronger futures for generations to come.
