Kaskaskia Workshop, Inc. located in Centralia has advocated for the general welfare of individuals with intellectual/developmental disabilities in the agency’s service area for over fifty years. The agency has always provided a complete program of services for adults with disabilities, and this year, we are hoping to expand our offerings to students by offering summer camps for the first time in our agency’s history.
Cathy Karrick, Business Development Manager for KWI says, “It is our hope to continue to foster and build relationships within our communities that will provide and allow students and adults with disabilities the opportunity to be an active member of their greater community including but not limited to recreation, arts and cultural experiences”.
