As a community-based, non-profit, KEYS has offered opportunity and hope to approximately 100,000 unemployed youth and adults for more than 40 years. We received our recognized charitable status in 1991. Since then, we have grown to an organization that not only helps thousands of people find job opportunities, but we also provide mentorship, training, employer support, and support to newcomers.
We help change lives. With very few exceptions, our programs have no cost.
As the Kingston area’s largest employment & newcomer services provider, KEYS changes lives by providing the widest range of services and support under one roof. As leaders in our community, we resettle refugees and educate and advocate for change to help equity-deserving populations (youth, newcomers, people with disabilities and more) to have equal opportunity.
We are grateful for the public funding we receive from a variety of government sources; but we also rely on donors who share our mission and vision. Your donations will give us the flexibility to develop and deliver services for our clients as needs emerge.
Our Vision: We envision an economically and socially vibrant community in which all individuals can realize their full potential.
Ends Statement: Connected People, Decent Work, Inclusive Communities.
