JANICE TULING
ADMINISTRATOR
Janice joined KCR Community Resources in 2019 and has worked in the field of social services for the past 20 years. Janice has an M.S.W and started her career as a social worker doing home studies for prospective foster parents. She then travelled to India to volunteer at a Mother Teresa orphanage for children under 2 years of age and witnessed several children meeting their prospective adoptive families. This inspired, humbled and planted many seeds for Janice as she spent the last 10+ years in management roles leading teams working with newcomers to Canada, youth, volunteers as well as supervising BSW or MSW practicum students. Janice’s approach to leadership has always been about coming alongside her team to support them so they can do and be the best for the individuals and families that they work with. Janice looks forward to working with our talented and knowledgeable team and the families that we work with!
