    The program sessions are usually scheduled for the 1st and 3rd Sundays of every month, with the exception of holiday weekends and the month of August. Athletes and volunteers participate in activities from 11 AM to 12:30 PM at the Elysian Park Therapeutic Center. This site is an ideal facility for KEEN and features indoor and outdoor basketball courts, an outdoor wheelchair-accessible playground, and plenty of grassy fields for sports and other activities. There are also nearby playgrounds and park areas that family members are welcome to enjoy.

  • New Volunteer Coach Orientation takes place from 10:10 AM – 10:40 AM.

    In a typical KEEN LA program session, our athletes and their coaches spend fifty minutes playing basketball, soccer, dodge ball or any number of different sports activities. They may also try some gymnastics, or use a variety of equipment including jump ropes, scooters, hula-hoops, swings and monkey bars. The session often rounds off with families joining the athletes and coaches in parachute-play and Tug-of-War. The finale is always the "Proud Circle," in which each athlete in turn enters the circle and answers a question - What did you do today that made you Proud?!
