Are you willing to question the status quo, and advocate for creative solutions to ensure that an individual’s choices are respected? Why KACL? Since 1960, KACL has promoted inclusion and social justice in our community. We are a not-for-profit, charitable organization made up of some of the most compassionate, caring, and hardworking people you’ll ever meet. We are the third largest employer in Kenora, and our goal is to become the employer of choice by focusing on safety, courtesy, teamwork, and service excellence. APSWs work with adults living with developmental disabilities to live as independently, safely, and securely as possible in their community. An APSW ensures that the individual’s support plan addresses the holistic nature of each person’s life and is focused on their dreams, desires, and aspirations. Support is provided in alignment with KACL values, vision, and mission, and creates conditions where people feel safe, empowered to make their own choices, experience a sense of belonging, and have opportunities to thrive. \n
