KEJI Around Town: KEJI has decided to hit the road with all its found college and post secondary education information instead of hosting a college fair this school year (2011/12). We've decided that if we can't get the public to come to us, we'll go where the public is going - whether it's a back to school night, school fair, community meeting, parent assembly, student club - where ever we need to go to spread the knowledge, even if its to just one person at a time. Look for a KEJI member at an event near you and feel free to let us know of any upcoming happenings we can participate in. Check out a VIDEO of our CEO at a recent back to school event.

HELP CHANGE THE FACE OF SPECIAL NEEDS!

Please assist KEJI in changing negative images about our communities that carry disability labels by encouraging schools and other agencies to start using the identifier of "specific needs" and "diverse abilities" when addressing information regarding our children or other family members.

KEJI (Kids, Education, Jobs, Independence) is a non-profit,  charitable parent support group that provides information and social support resource services for families and caregivers of children and adults with specific needs and diverse abilities, through volunteered services of community supporters providing information and education on various health, education, employment, independent living, and care giving topics.
