Join the KenCrest Team

Empowering people requires a dedication to personal and professional growth —which is fundamental to our core. Daily, our commitment to our community is to create a warm, uplifting, and family-oriented culture for everyone. That's because we know what engaging with individuals of all abilities means and ensure that the people we support thrive and live enriched lives.

For 119 years, KenCrest has supported adults and children with an intellectual or developmental disability through residential options, community engagement supports, early intervention, enabling technology, and our Early Learning Centers. All our services seek to increase a person’s quality of life based on desires, preferences, and goals.

Our mission is to support community development by exploring possibilities, mobilizing resources, and empowering dreams by:

Creating a vision for each person’s future.
Focusing on what’s important to each person—goals, dreams, and how to communicate those.
Giving freedom to make and change decisions.
Letting a person choose how their life looks.
Encouraging a person to try new things and acquire new skills.
Allowing a choice in who provides support and how that support looks.
Letting a person decide with whom they live and share their life.
Defining how a person is treated/related to.
