KINnect Events give siblings living apart the chance to spend meaningful time together in a safe, fun, and supportive environment. All events are free for siblings who live separately — including young people in resource/foster care or in permanency apart from their sibling(s) — and their families.

Details for each event are shared closer to the date, but you can stay up to date by joining our email list (contact our Salem Area KINnect Coordinator, Mollee Carter, at kinnectsalem@gmail.com) and by following us on social media, where updates are posted most quickly.
