A big thank you to our amazing community for supporting children and families in West Virginia! 💙

This week, we received a generous donation of diapers and wipes. Donations like these help ensure youth have the everyday essentials they need to feel safe, cared for and supported!

Because every person deserves to feel safe and connected to a strong family and a healthy community, we’re grateful for partners who help make that possible.

Social Worker Spotlight: Brittany 💙

At KVC West Virginia, we all need connection and Brittany makes sure the young women in our Transitional Living home feel it every single day.

As Program Manager, Brittany shows up with heart and purpose. As one teammate shared, “Brittany puts her heart and soul into fulfilling her job role as Program Manager. She really cares for the youth under her supervision and makes sure they are up-to-date on trainings, school work and appointments.”

That care shows up in the small but powerful moments, like confirming a young woman’s upcoming appointment with a coworker and making sure she knew exactly when to be ready. Consistency. Follow-through. Calm support. Those everyday actions build trust and confidence for youth preparing for adulthood.

We’re so grateful for social workers like Brittany who lead with compassion and make connection part of everything they do. 💙 She's so dedicated, calm under pressure, and most importantly, a supportive teammate who truly goes above and beyond!

Social Worker Spotlight: Sara 💙

Great leadership isn’t always loud. Sometimes, it looks like making sure everyone has a seat at the table.

As Regional Director, Sara leads with intention and heart. One team member shared, “Sara does a great job of involving all of her team in what’s going on within the organization. She is kind, thoughtful and works to make sure that everyone is heard.”

That kind of leadership creates something powerful — trust.

Sara pays attention to the details. The check-ins. The follow-ups. The “little things” that often matter most. Those small moments build strong teams, and strong teams create better outcomes for children, individuals and families.

The photo shared with this nomination includes another beloved team member, Michelle, who we remember and miss deeply. Her presence in this memory is a reminder that the connections built within this team run deep. The way Sara leads, with compassion and care helps create a workplace where people feel supported, valued and remembered.

Compassionate. Supportive. Thoughtful.

This Social Worker Month, we’re grateful for leaders like Sara and we honor the bonds that make this work more than just a job. 💙

Social Worker Spotlight: Allie Moss 💜

You can tell when someone genuinely loves what they do. With Allie, you don’t have to guess, she’ll show you!

After stepping into the role of Home Finder, Allie brought a willingness to learn and a clear desire to make a difference for foster homes in the communities she serves. She jumped in with purpose and quickly began moving projects forward.

But what stands out most is her heart.

Our Permanency Director shared, “Allie expresses how she loves her job every opportunity she gets.” That love shows up in her readiness to support foster parents, teammates and partners whenever she’s needed. No hesitation. Just commitment.

Compassionate. Innovative. Dedicated. A supportive teammate who goes above and beyond.

We’re grateful for the energy and positivity Allie brings to permanency work, helping ensure children and teens are connected to safe, supportive homes!

Social Worker Spotlight: Amber 💙

At KVC West Virginia, connection is something we practice everyday. Amber is a beautiful example of that in action at our Transitional Living for Youth home in Fairmont. Some of the most important moments in social work don’t happen in big celebrations, they often happen during hard conversations.

One teammate put it best: “Amber has the gift of calm when it comes to having challenging conversations with the youth under her care.”

That gift showed up during a recent discussion about safety hazards and organization in the home. What could have easily turned into frustration became an opportunity for growth. Amber stayed calm, clear and compassionate while a young person worked through why decluttering and safety really matter.

It was never just about the space; it was about helping a young person believe they can manage their world.

Compassionate. Dedicated. Trauma-informed. The kind of leader who goes above and beyond without raising her voice, just raising the bar. 💁‍♀️

We’re grateful for the quiet strength Amber brings to our Transitional Living for Youth home and the steady presence she offers young people every day. 💙

Welcoming someone new into your home takes patience, flexibility and heart.

It’s okay if it feels new. It’s okay if it feels stretching.
Trust is built one steady day at a time. 💛

The first 30 days in a new home can be a big transition for everyone involved.

If the first couple of days start to feel tough, remember: stability doesn't happen overnight. It's built step by step, day by day. 💚

This is a general snapshot of what the first month often includes. But every young person's experience is different, and support is always individualized based on their needs.
