ABOUT US

We believe everyone has value. To really see it, you have to get close.

KinCorps is a team devoted to raising the next generation of caring, connected citizens — professionals grounded in positive youth development, trained to work with kids and families, with decades of experience between us.

Our roots are in Maine. Our experiences across the world are what taught us to love difference.

I went looking for a way to get my own kids out of their silos and into our community, and I kept coming up empty.

WHY WE STARTED

What I found instead, as someone who has spent a career in this work, was a civic pipeline that's broken at the bottom. We've built plenty of experiences for kids of every kind — but almost nothing that helps them connect to, and care for, people outside their own bubble.

And almost everything starts in middle or high school, which is already too late. So many of us are worried about where this country is headed. Almost no one is doing anything about it with kids while they're young.

That's the gap I started KinCorps to fill.‍ ‍

PROGRAM MANAGER

Mary

A Maine native who loves everything the state has to offer. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, she's passionate about helping others in her community. When she's not working, you'll find her soaking up the outdoors, hitting the beach with her husband, Cam, and their black lab, Dewey, getting lost in a good book, flowing through a yoga practice, exploring new destinations, or trying out the latest restaurants.

COMMUNICATIONS MANAGER

Molly

Molly began her social work career in 2014, earning her MSW from The University of Texas at Austin. Over the past decade, she has brought marketing and design skills from her earlier career into her social work roles, leading strategic communications efforts. She specializes in translating complex information into material that resonates — an educational parenting guide, a resource for a community in crisis — an approach grounded in nearly ten years managing research and programming in academic and nonprofit settings. Now back home in Maine, she's focused on supporting Maine communities through meaningful engagement and messaging that drives positive change.
