Mission: The objectives of the KLS Foundation are to: 1. Extend the reach of individuals who commit themselves to serving others. 2. Create educational opportunities, particularly in underserved communities. 3. Advance sustainable projects that contribute to the long-term development of communities. The KLS Foundation honors the life and journey of Kristin Linnea Skvarla, a young woman who sought and found a life rich in meaning and experience, full of happiness and love. Kristin was surrounded by a strong family and vibrant communities that cultivated in her a generous spirit and an impassioned social conscience. She carried these gifts with her as an adult and developed them further in each of her varied endeavors, including the Alternative Spring Break program, the National Committee to Prevent Child Abuse, and Providence-St. Mel, a nationally ranked, privately funded, college preparatory school in Chicago’s inner city. In 1998 and 1999, Kristin worked for WorldTeach, a non-profit, non-governmental organization based at the Center for International Development at Harvard University, which provides opportunities for individuals to make meaningful contributions to international education by living and working as volunteer teachers in developing countries.
