We are delighted to announce the appointment of Kayla Chavez as our new Executive Director. As a seasoned nonprofit and community services leader with deep roots in Montana, Kayla brings a unique combination of mission-driven leadership, financial expertise, and a lifelong commitment to improving outcomes for children, families, and vulnerable populations.

Florence Crittenton is entering a new chapter-one designed to support longterm growth, strengthen our programs, and expand our impact across Montana and beyond. As our organization has evolved, so has our structure.

Spring has arrived! As I sit in my latest office here on campus, I have had the joy of watching little ones on our playground, playing with friends, and squealing with delight as they ride their bikes through the budding forest.

Because of you, 2025 was a year of remarkable generosity and impact. Together, our community not only met but exceeded our Annual Appeal goal, raising $116,539.74 to fuel compassionate programs for the families we serve. Your gifts turned compassion into action for all the moms, children, and families who utilize our services. Thank you!

Creating lasting memories for the children connected to Florence Crittenton is a powerful part of our mission. Every moment of joy, play, and laughter becomes part of the foundation we are building-where our littlest learners feel safe, seen, and surrounded by care. This Halloween, that spirit was on full display.

Autumn is a season of transition—of letting go, preparing for what’s next, and finding beauty in change. Our Transitional Living Program embodies that spirit. It’s where families move from survival to stability, from dependence to empowerment.
