Kenz Denning

Teaching-Family Model Specialist
Lakeview • Mountain View

Kenz Denning brings over a decade of experience with Utah Youth Village. She began in 2013 and later returned as a Campus LIFE Supervisor at Alpine Academy with her husband and children. They lived in the home while working alongside youth, a transformative experience that fuels her passion to this day. Kenz then spent two years as the Training Coordinator, designing and leading staff training rooted in Alpine’s core values of Dignity, Positivity, Excellence, Stewardship, and Helpfulness.

Demonstrating her commitment to growth at every level, Kenz is now a leader in the Campus LIFE department where she trains and develops staff who are working directly with the youth. She believes that if our kids are doing the work to change their lives, the adults should be, too.

Outside of work, Kenz is a proud mom, theatre lover, and occasional YouTube creator (yes, there are cat songs). She also volunteers with local youth arts programs and believes parenting is the most meaningful form of community service.
