US Internal Operations Manager

At Kids Alive International we believe every child is a priority to God, and far too many are overlooked, unheard, exploited, and threatened. Our mission is the call of Isaiah 1:17: to serve these children by constantly learning better ways to meet their needs, earnestly seeking justice for them, empowering them for a healthy future, and advocating for community change. We desire for every child we serve to:

• Enjoy a vibrant, life-changing relationship with God
• Experience emotional and physical well-being
• Be equipped for a life of independence and service
• Live life in family and community, free of fear and violence

A little more about us:

Our organizational culture is led by what we believe about identity. Regardless of our roles in Kids Alive, we believe that in Christ we are all:

• God’s Children: We are intrinsically loved by the Father, and we should reflect His love in thought, word, and action. (John 1:12)
• Clean: God is faithful and just to take away our shame and forgive us as we admit our failings, forgive each other, and grow to be more like Jesus. (1 John 1:9)
• Chosen for a Purpose: We are called to be God’s ambassadors as we represent Him in our homes, schools, work, and communities. (John 15:16)
• Powerful: When we are united in honor, respect, love, and reliance on God, we can do all things He calls us to do. (Romans 12:10, Philippians 4:13)
• Masterpieces: We are the artwork of God, created to do marvelous works that He prepared us to do. (Ephesians 2:10)

In light of this, we desire to embody these values in our work and relationships with each other and the children and families we serve: faith, integrity, understanding, self-control, perseverance, devotion to God, mutual kindness, and love.
