KEEN enables children and teens with significant disabilities in the District of Columbia to have the opportunity to build self-confidence, self-esteem and sports skills while having fun in a fully supported, accepting environment. This project enables 4 children or teens from a low-income family, regardless of the nature or severity of his/her disability, to participate in 1 year of KEEN sports activities. This includes 20 sports sessions and events with one-on-one volunteer support, care, and companionship at no cost to his/her family. KEEN Sport’s programs in the Southeast DC area are unique among programs offered for children and teenagers with significant disabilities in that we accept every child, regardless of the nature or severity of his/her disability, and all of our programs are offered free of charge to our families. With our one-on-one volunteer coaches, every child can exercise, join in the fun activities and have the opportunity to come out and play.
