KEEN is a national, nonprofit volunteer-led organization that provides one-to-one recreational opportunities for children and young adults with mental and physical disabilities at no cost to their families and caregivers. KEEN's mission is to foster the self-esteem, confidence, skills and talents of its athletes through non-competitive activities, allowing young people facing even the most significant challenges to meet their individual goals.

Sponsor a KEEN Athlete
KEEN is a wonderful organization that has 8 affiliates across the country. In order to provide more services we need volunteers and we need your support.

If you would like to volunteer click on the affiliate links to the left and see if we are in your area. If you are a parent who would like your child to participate in KEEN check our affiliates on the left as well.

If you would like to make a donation click on the donate button in the upper right corner of the page. On average, it costs KEEN $150 a year for a child to participate in KEEN Sports, Swim or one of our many other wonderful programs. Consider sponsoring an athlete with your donation.

Due to the increased health expenses experienced by every family with a child with disabilities, KEEN is committed to offering all of our sports and recreation programs at no charge to our athletes. Neither income nor the severity of a child's disability is a barrier to joining a KEEN program.
