Better Together, a nonprofit dedicated to families and children, has promoted Kayla Palacios to chief operating officer. Having strong, passionate, and devoted leaders like Kayla is critical to our success.”Better Together works to prevent the need for foster care by building strong families and communities. To date, Better Together has served more than 15,000 children, and 98% of children served through mentoring and hosting remain out of foster care. Through the Better Families program, families are offered a preventive alternative to foster care while they get the help they need. The Better Jobs program was created to address the 76% of families that come to Better Together because of economic hardship tied to unemployment.
