Activity 3

Other Initiatives:The Keystone InstituteThe Keystone Institute (KI), KSS's educational division, provided 64 formal values and skills-based educational events to a total of 1,570 participants, which translates to a total of 17,227 participant training hours. The purpose of the KI is to advance the vision of the organization through education and support with the intent that services provided will enrich the lives of the people who are supported. To achieve this, KI provides a variety of educational workshops across all the agencies, provides consultation to agencies and individuals, and works to build leadership capacities and skills within organizations. In addition, KI provided over 260 hours of consulting to the various Keystone Agencies regarding values based approaches to support services.International Practical Training ProgramThrough Keystone's International Practical Training Program (IPTP), individuals from all geographic areas of the world come to the United States to participate in and to gain practical and professional experience in human services through Keystone agency work experience and Keystone Institute training. It forges lasting friendships with human services professionals who share their goals and visions. Educational opportunities focus on: clinical skills, program management, voluntary action, leadership, governance and community capacity. In this initiative KSS partners with American Youth Work Center (AYWC) who sponsors the participants in the IPTP. This past year KSS supported 13 participants from five different countries. Clinton Global Initiative/Keystone Global PartnersAs a returning member of the Clinton Global Initiative, Dennis W. Felty's (President of Keystone Human Services, parent company to this Organization) efforts have culminated in a formal Commitment for Action in support of the Initiative's Global Health priority. This Commitment centers on the Keystone Global Partners (KGP) program. The KGP model is built on years of Keystone Human Services' work empowering community leaders and professionals through our International Practical Training Program and International Professional Exchanges. KGP aims to apply the strengths of America's private nonprofit sector to help build the capacity of emerging non-government organizations (NGOs) in countries that are just beginning to develop their human service systems in the areas of autism, education, health care, intellectual disability, mental illness, and physical disability. The ultimate goal of the program is to advance systems of care - coordinated networks of services and supports - for people with disabilities around the globe.International Federation of Educative Communities (FICE)FICE, an international organization developing systems of care throughout the world, has re-established FICE-United States, with Dennis W. Felty serving as President. The current major focus of FICE-USA is to organize sponsoring partnerships, and develop a structure to partner with other international sponsors, and promote the growth of activities with FICE-South Africa.
