Making Connections. Transforming Lives.

Empowering professionals to find, connect, and strengthen families for children in foster care.

At Connect Our Kids, we believe that every child has a family, and with the right tools and technology, you can play a meaningful role in helping them find it.

Family Connections is a powerful, visual relationship-mapping tool that helps child welfare professionals uncover and organize the extended networks surrounding vulnerable children. By identifying relatives, mentors, teachers, and community members, Family Connections transforms fragmented information into meaningful support systems, giving every child the chance to grow up in a safe, loving, and permanent home.
