Programs

All of KEEN's programs are based on a single principle: pair a trained volunteer with an athlete and let them discover together how much they can do.



We require our volunteers to be fully vaccinated prior to joining us at an in-person session.

Programs are all open and unstructured, providing all of our Athletes the opportunity to have fun and be successful. KEEN programs are open to those ages 5+ with physical or developmental disabilities. Certain programs are for select age groups only.


  • Absolutely Free
  • Volunteer-Run
  • Age Appropriate & Non-Competitive
  • Open, Unstructured and Flexible
  • Tailored for Each Athlete's Needs
  • Inclusive, Regardless of Severity of Disabilities


We ask that:


  • All volunteers must be fully vaccinated prior to joining our program and encourage enrolled participants and family members to get vaccinated to keep our community as safe as possible. 


Our most popular programs are listed below. For specific dates and times, please check the Current Schedule Registration for programs takes place quarterly, although, if you are interested in participating feel free to email us at

info@keenchicago.org to inquire as to if spaces are open.


To help newer athletes adjust to our program, we have created a number of social stories so that participating youth know what to expect. View them here!
