"Since starting in the Finance department in 2022, I’ve built a set of skills that I can use to do good in the world and get to come to a workspace that is full of encouraging, friendly people that love what they do as well. What really means the most to me about working at ForKids is the feeling that I’m able to contribute to the betterment of my community in my own way, and that feeling is incredibly precious."
