Nearly 600 people participate in Keshet’s classroom experiences, camps, sports, social and vocational activities, and residential opportunities each year. With a focus on inclusion, an additional 4,000 school and camp peers, volunteers, family members, coworkers, friends and staff are impacted by Keshet annually.
Keshet is always moving forward, dreaming big and thinking about what’s next. As we continue to grow, expand and enhance our programs to meet the needs of the community, we remain deeply committed to our mission of creating a community of belonging where people with disabilities can learn, play, work and live with people of all abilities.
