MyKearns is a volunteer-powered coalition working to make Kearns a healthier, more connected, and more hopeful place — for every family, every neighbor, every person.
Community Partners & Supporters
Building a Stronger Kearns Together.
MyKearns is a community coalition made up of local volunteers, organizations, and residents who believe Kearns deserves more — more resources, more opportunity, and more connection.
We bring people together to tackle real challenges and build lasting change. No one gets paid to do this work — every single person in MyKearns shows up because they care.
Real help. Right here in Kearns.
We show up with real resources, real partners, and real programs that make a difference in people's daily lives.
Housing Stability
Connecting residents facing eviction with legal resources, community courts, and support — because losing your home shouldn't mean losing everything.

Building the bonds that make a neighborhood feel like home — through events, partnerships, and shared experiences across every culture.
The future of Kearns is already here.
Young people aren't just the future of our community — they're shaping it right now. MyKearns is committed to giving Kearns youth a real voice, real resources, and real opportunities to lead.

This is where the real work happens. MyKearns operates through seven volunteer-powered workgroups — each focused on a different piece of what makes Kearns thrive. Find your fit and plug in.
Youth Involvement
The Youth Involvement Workgroup recruits youth for all aspects of the Communities That Care effort. It works with other workgroups to identify meaningful opportunities for young people, skills and training needed by young people, and appropriate recognition.
Data & Evaluation
The Resources Assessment & Evaluation Workgroup is responsible for identifying current community services that address the priority risk and protective factors, identifying service delivery gaps, and recommending solutions. This workgroup also designs and oversees monitoring and evaluation of the programs & policies implemented under the Community Action Plan.

Public Relations & Outreach
The Community Outreach & Public Relations Workgroup is responsible for involving stakeholders, promoting the Communities That Care system, and educating and updating key leaders and the community about the work of the community board.
Board Development & Maintenance
The Board Maintenance & Development Workgroup builds and sustains a healthy and effective community board, establishes communication and reporting protocols, and decision-making protocols (bylaws and operating procedures), develops a process for recruiting and educating new Coalition members, and fosters team-building and recognition activities.
Sustainability
The Sustainability Workgroup identifies strategies to sustain the work of MyKearns Community Coalition, including developing a long-term sustainability plan, building partnerships to share and adopt the work, and identifying the funding needs of MyKearns Community Coalition.
Healthy Kearns
As part of MyKearns Coalition, Healthy Kearns's mission is to support and expand the efforts of the community board, with the philosophy that the more mentally and physically healthy an individual is, the more effectively they can avoid the pitfalls of tobacco, drug, and alcohol misuse, and live productive, connected, and happy lives. Our goal is to implement strategies that will improve mental and physical well-being, with specific objectives to reduce depression and anxiety, prevent self-harm, help people achieve and maintain healthy weight, and decrease chronic conditions related to common unhealthy lifestyles.

The volunteers who make MyKearns possible.
MyKearns Community Coalition is managed by the Community Board. The Board maintains a membership of at least 12 individuals, who represent systems, agencies, Kearns residents and parents, service providers, schools, and other involved and interested parties. The Board is the primary decision-making body for the MyKearns Coalition, selecting priority risk and protective factors, deciding which tested, effective programs to implement, and generally overseeing the development of the Coalition's efforts. Board members are invited to join the Board based on their affiliations, willingness, and ability to serve, and special skills and expertise.
Every person on our Executive Committee gives their time, expertise, and heart — because they believe in Kearns.

December 2025 — Year in Review & Holiday Gratitude
Dear Kearns Community — As 2025 draws to a close, we want to pause and say something simple: thank you. Thank you for showing up, for sharing, for giving your time, and for believing that Kearns deserves better.
In partnership with the Utah Community Court and local legal volunteers, MyKearns connected 47 Kearns families with free eviction prevention resources in 2025. That's 47 families who didn't lose their homes.
With love and gratitude — Janet Reyes & the MyKearns Community Coalition · [email protected]
November 2025 — Building Bridges in Kearns
Kearns Neighbors — November brought us one of our biggest community moments of the year. Our Resource Assessment workgroup completed a full neighborhood survey — and the results are already shaping our priorities for 2026.
Top three needs identified by Kearns residents: (1) Affordable healthcare navigation, (2) Youth after-school programs, (3) Housing stability resources. These will drive our 2026 workgroup priorities.
