Resource Family Conference
What is KVC’s Resource Family Conference?
Every other year, KVC Nebraska hosts 300+ foster parents and families caring for individuals with disabilities through our Shared Living program to spend a FREE weekend at a hotel while participating in trainings, networking activities and fun! While caregivers are in training, youth and clients in care create exciting new memories with developmentally-appropriate activities and field trips under the supervision of 120+ KVC employees and volunteers.
