Join Our Mission:
At Connect Our Kids, we are driven by a singular, powerful mission: to ensure every child in foster care finds the love, stability, and lasting connection they deserve. We know that every child needs a strong network of supportive adults to thrive, and through technology, we are empowering child welfare professionals and advocates to build those critical connections faster and more effectively than ever before.
Your support is essential to scaling this impact and transforming the foster care system nationwide so no child ages out of foster care alone.

Our Technology: The Heart of the Solution
We build and provide two primary technology solutions to caseworkers, foster parents, and advocates:
Family Connections Platform
A sophisticated, secure tool that uses advanced public record search technology to quickly map out a child’s extended family and social network. This is the difference between weeks of manual work and mere minutes of searching.
Connect Our Kids App
An accessible mobile tool that facilitates easy, secure sharing of contact information and updates among a child’s support network, ensuring everyone is on the same page.

Why We Need Your Partnership
The foster care system is complex, but the solution to connecting children is not. It requires reliable, scalable technology.
Your donation directly funds the development, maintenance, and expansion of our essential tools. This ensures they remain accessible to the caseworkers and advocates who need them most. Please note that while our tools and training are transformative, they are not free for agencies to utilize. Your partnership helps keep the cost accessible and subsidizes adoption for agencies with limited budgets.
