Igniting My Passion

“Teaching at KVC is a unique experience where you are challenged every day, but the challenges have molded me into a more complete person!! The rewards of helping a child that many others were unsuccessful in doing so, is a feeling that words can’t truly do justice! I love the opportunity and freedom to build my community in an environment where support is just a walkie call away.”

Igniting My Passion

“I love my job and the rewards that come with it. My favorite part of my job is getting to watch the progress that our students make throughout the year, both academically and with their social/emotional development. When you are working with a student, and you get to witness that “ah-ha” moment when they finally understand what you have been working on is so rewarding. I also love that I get to watch the students in our program grow and get the opportunity to return to the public-school setting, getting to be on the sideline cheering for them and seeing the pride that they have over themselves is just the best!”

KVC ranks high or above average in 14 of Indeed’s categories that contribute to work wellbeing and is outperforming its peers in child welfare and mental health, its peers in healthcare more broadly and even most for-profit companies across all sectors.
