Mission

Ken's Krew provides job placement, training, and support for individuals with neurodevelopmental disabilities in competitive employment. Every individual deserves the opportunity to enter the workforce, earn a fair wage, and reach their full potential. Championing ability. Enabling success.

What We Do

Ken's Krew Inc. (KKI) was founded 26 years ago by two families in the Philadelphia area. KKI provides recruitment and job placement, training and retention services to individuals with neurodevelopmental disabilities. To date, the organization has assisted over 900 individuals with neurodevelopmental disabilities in their transition from students to valued and productive employees. The efforts of these individuals, along with their vocational coordinators, our employment partners, and the support of their families has enabled our members to succeed in competitive integrative employment and to live more independent and fulfilling lives as productive members of the communities in which they live and work.
KKI currently operates in nine states, supporting over 550 individuals in 197 retail and hospitality locations. Our vocational coordinators assess, train and support both the worker and the employer. Participants in the program are taught the skills necessary for independent employment and receive ongoing support services to maximize their potential for job success and employment retention.
