Kimberle Franks

Kimberle volunteers with our Chicktime Kansas City Chapter!

Why I Volunteer with Chicktime:

I grew up doing lots of community service and volunteering.   As my kids grew up I was active in their schools, sports, and activities.  Now that my children are grown I have the opportunity to volunteer again.    

What are my passions/gifts:

My son struggled with emotional regulation and anger  management.   Searching for help and options I found a program through Cornerstones of Care. They provided in home counseling for my son and our family.  At one point, he ended up in residential care there for four months.  Chicktime KC working with the girls in Cornerstones of Care’s residential program seemed like a natural fit given my history with the organization.  Working with girls is nice as I have two boys.  

What are my hobbies/interests:

I like to travel, read and spend time with family and friends.  As I was diagnosed with early onset Parkinson Disease I’ve also become more active in that community.
