Kids Enjoy Exercise Now (KEEN) Los Angeles

KEEN LA is a non-profit organization that strives to provide fun, fitness, and friendship for people aged 5-21 with special needs.

Michelle’s journey with KEEN LA began in 2017 when she joined their Basketball Program at Sinai Temple. Inspired by the joy and transformation she witnessed in the athletes and coaches, Michelle became an active member of the Board of Directors. She works alongside the Executive Director to improve best practices, recommend adaptive equipment, and develop behavior strategies. Additionally, Michelle has contributed to KEEN LA’s fundraising efforts by helping to organize and participate in various programs such as Mikey's Walk, Big 5K, and our Teen coaches training. She is also passionate about educating parents on the IEP process and their educational rights through informative lectures and Q&A sessions.

As the current Board President of KEEN LA, Michelle is committed to advancing the organization's mission and ensuring every child enjoys the benefits of exercise, inclusion, and community connection.
