Everyone should be able to engage in the most important activities to them. Based on a supported person's needs and goals, KenCrest designs a customized person-centered program to help them make meaningful contributions within their community.

Supports include, but are not limited to:

• Each person will acquire, maintain, or improve skills like personal care, computer skills, money management, navigating public transportation, and personal safety.
• Socialization: becoming more connected to a local community, social group, or volunteer opportunity.
• Healthy Living: participating in exercise routines, grocery shopping, meal prepping, and learning to make healthy life choices.

Through the Meaningful Day initiative, we help the people we support live meaningful-filled lives by encouraging participation in the hobbies, classes, events, and outings that interest them. Whether that's art classes, bowling, visiting local parks and museums, doing yoga, or something else entirely, we're focused on helping to build a greater community based on inclusion.

At KenCrest, we structure our Meaningful Day community initiative around three specific areas:

For KenCrest Residential Participants

We can create a one-to-one or group experience focused on community participation for residential clients with support based on the individual's interests and skills-building needs, such as counting money and making purchases at a store.

Day Sharing Program

Through our Day Sharing program, we connect community members with the same interests to build friendships.

Virtual Classes

For our KenCrest members who want to connect online, we offer daily virtual classes that teach new skills and explore new hobbies while allowing participants to meet new people and have fun!

The Activity Club is an informal social club where everyone we support in Community-Based Services are welcome to participate. Those who are part of the club engage in activities like bowling, yearly dances, arts and crafts classes, food/coffee dates, holiday outings, book clubs, and other social events in group settings.
