In 2013, Keystone Human Services committed to improve social and financial inclusion for women and girls with disabilities in the United States and Eastern Europe, specifically in Pennsylvania, Moldova, and Russia. Through this commitment, Keystone aims to deinstitutionalize young women with disabilities, moving them from state institutions to community homes, and provide them with the necessary, community-based support structures. A complementary program aims to establish an inclusive, family-oriented, workforce model that effectively reduces obstacles to employment for women with disabilities and women caregivers of children with disabilities. This includes the creation of entrepreneurial and workforce positions, as well as the development of mentorship and counseling programs. Keystone aims to support 30 female caregivers of children with disabilities and 20 women with disabilities through these enterprising opportunities, and help to deinstitutionalize 10 woman and girls.
Keystone Human Services understands the fragility of life and is determined to advance the human spirit of all people, regardless of ability. We know all people learn and grow throughout their lives. Some become independent citizens, while others require support across their lifespan to lead meaningful lives in their communities.
Since 1972, we have been part of a global movement toward a more inclusive society where everyone has a valued role to play. We provide services and supports to ensure the most vulnerable members of our society have opportunities to pursue their goals and dreams and participate in all that life has to offer.
