Associate Board

The KEEN Chicago Associate Board is a group of young professionals, helping advance KEEN’s mission through advocacy, fundraising, volunteering and networking. This means supporting KEEN Chicago in providing social and recreational opportunities for children and young adults with disabilities, and most importantly bringing some fun into their lives!

The Associate Board will serve as ambassadors for KEEN Chicago, its coaches, athletes and their families, connecting the organization with a broader audience.

We are looking to add energetic, motivated individuals to the Associate Board and expand the group’s impact.
