Ken's Krew provides opportunity for young adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities the opportunity to access jobs and training for sustained employment.  Ken's Krew was created by Ken Langone, who funded Arthur Blank and Bernie Marcus when they began Home Depot. The goal of Ken's Krew is for individuals with disabilities to gain independence, confidence and become productive members of society through meaningful employment. In order to be eligible for Ken's Krew, one must be at least 18 years of age, have a documented intellectual or developmental disability, have a desire to work, have family support, submit to testing as required, and be responsible for transportation. Additionally applicants must meet specific employability, physical, and social/behavioral standards. An applicant's eligibility is based on educator and/or transition coordinator evaluations, student interview and observation, parent/guardian meeting, and onsite employment assessment. Ken's Krew provides more support than many agencies. They provide one-on-one skills assessment, job matching, vocational training and continuous support to allow individuals to work at their highest level in jobs at Home Depot and CVS. Ken's Krew job coaches provide intense training for candidates for approximately 6-8 weeks. When individuals are ready, job coaches begin phasing away from participant, but are available for retraining and support for as long as a Ken’s Krew corporate partners employ the participant. Ken's Krew is a separate entity, and not a VR vendor. Applicants can directly apply to the program. Ken's Krew is currently in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Georgia, and Florida. 

The Board of Directors and Staff of New Horizons are committed to enriching the lives of people with intellectual, developmental and related disabilities through training and life experiences that build self-esteem and promote personal independence at home, at work and within the community they call home.
