KETCH

Our mission is to help people with disabilities live and work in the community.

Since our beginning in 1964 the Kansas Elks Training Center for the Handicapped, Inc. (KETCH) has stood as a leader in the rehabilitation industry, serving more than 30,000 individuals with disabilities. Much has changed since then, but one thing remains the same—our commitment to help people with disabilities live and work in the community. We believe that a persons disability should not overshadow a persons many capabilities. To meet our mission KETCH provides a wide array of services to help each person become as successful as possible.

People have a wide range of interests during their "free time". While some might like to read, hike, camp, others like to volunteer in the community. Philip is a gentleman who loves volunteering in the concession stand during Wichita State University basketball games! Phillip volunteers to raise funds for his basketball team in the Special Olympics, alongside the sport practicing every week!
