Believe underline  With Us!

Our employees make a difference every day. See what they have to say about their impact on Kansans and what the opportunity to serve means to them.

Everyone deserves a chance to have the best life possible, and at times, we may need a little help getting to where we want to be. I love my job because I am part of surrounding families and children with safety and support and of being the voice to help them get to their best life.

Whitney

My passion is to serve, and my mission is to make the world a better place. DCF offers me the path to do both while serving those around me.

Jimmy

I enjoy my job because I truly feel like I am helping people, and DCF gives me the opportunity to do just that. There is also room to grow and move up if you want to.
