KCS Angels
Kindness Courage Strength
KCS Angels is a registered nonprofit 501(c)3 organization that was formed in 2016, by adults with disabilities to help and support peers with inclusive activities in the Lansing Area.
KCS Angels Vision is to be the leading local organization that provides support to people with disabilities.
Our mission is to have people with disabilities enjoy safe, therapeutic recreation, physical activity, and life skills development in an inclusive environment.
Our Core Values: ANGELS
Attitude: we respect each other and recognize our differences without judgment. Network: we are pursuing opportunities to strengthen our relationships with similar organizations in the community to build each other up. Give: we believe in giving back to our community. Empower: we believe all people have their own unique abilities, we want to be the vessel that helps support and empower everyone. Love: all people need and deserve to feel valued, safe, and included in the community. Support: our foundation is to support each other; we do that by listening to each other's needs and desires and incorporating that into our daily life and activities.
We value every person within our community.
We have developed a partnership with
Lansing Parks and Recreation, to provide an inclusive environment within our community.
Through this partnership, we have established a daily program with set hours to offer a variety of activities. The activities are planned by participants with the focus of fun with a purpose.
We partner with other nonprofits in the Lansing area, to offer community volunteering programs that connect and support other undeserved populations. This enables us to offer vocational opportunities within the community center.
Additionally it is a place for caregivers/guardians to bring their Angel that allows them to work or just have a much needed break for a few hours with less worry and stress.
Our staff: Tracy Smith and Pamm McDaniel, each with over 30 years of experience working with adults with disabilities.
Peer Support Staff: Allan Lowther, Sanford Cole, Natasha Moore, Kristin Langin.
Also, we are grateful for the many people who support us with donations of time, money. energy and encouragement.
THANK YOU!
