"I love the fact that I get to work every day with people who want to bring good into the world. I know that even in the darkest days, I will have a reason to smile and joke around because of the camaraderie and inherently good nature of the people around me. I also look forward to the opportunity to work on challenging legal issues, as immigration policies continue to change with time. Our work is not easy, so having the right environment is crucial. I’m so grateful to get to work with my KIND colleagues. They really are the main reason I have stayed all this time. "

We envision a world in which children's rights and their well-being are protected. We understand that staff experiences and identities are intertwined with how they approach this work. We acknowledge that bias and privilege result in the marginalization of groups of people. We believe recognizing, evaluating, and challenging how systems adversely impact marginalized communities at KIND is the first step to a more diverse, equitable, and inclusive work environment.
