Support for Kids Enjoy Exercise NowBy John Cortale

•The non-profit group Kids Enjoy Exercise Now (KEEN) helps adolescents and young adults with disabilities participate in free recreational programs. Led by volunteers and supported by donors, KEEN has helped individuals with disabilities engage in physical activity for 20 years.

Volunteers, also known as coaches, engage in one-on-one recreational activities with program participants. Training is provided in advance, and volunteers are not required to have prior experience working with individuals with disabilities. Visit KEENUSA.org for information, including video resources, about becoming a volunteer.

Donations are also accepted from individuals and businesses. KEEN's Donor Hall of Fame includes NBA Cares, Schiff Hardin, Marriott, and numerous other generous corporate supporters.
