Akin

Akin works to disrupt systemic and multi-generational cycles of inequity by partnering with children, families, and communities to transform population-level health and wellbeing. The organization is on the leading edge of the “kin-first” movement in Central Washington, with the goal of making kinship the default placement option for children that cannot remain safely at home. Its services include early learning, parenting education, mentorship for parents in the foster care system, the management of eight Family Resource Centers, and more.
