The Day's Program

Kelcey Liverpool is the current Executive Director of Kids Rank. She has been a military spouse for over 17 years and has worked and volunteered with numerous programs in the military community during that time. As the co-founder of Kids Rank, she developed this hands-on program to teach and encourage the numerous strengths in military children. There are currently 70 students in the program locally.

As part of her responsibilities, she collaborates within a network of organizations and service providers supporting the veteran population. As a subject matter expert she sits as a contributor on curriculum development for the National Red Cross organization.

Her personal experience within the military community along with continued education and mentorship in nonprofit management has contributed to the success and growth of Kids Rank in the last 5 years.

Ms. Liverpool is the mother of two teen-age military daughters. She is also an Interact parent and will be hosting a TABU student when the students from Belfast visit this year.

Her presentation provided a poignant reminder of the adjustments and commitments made by our military families as well as those who serve our country directly.

Many Thanks to Cynthia Plouché for her notes!
