The Full Story
Partnership for Inclusion: Enhancing Lives through Collaboration
Two of the largest associations in Kansas City are partnering with the Johnny Boy Foundation to enrich the lives of individuals with developmental disabilities.
For over a century, the Greater Kansas City Restaurant Association and the Hotel & Lodging Association of Greater Kansas City have been pillars of the local hospitality industry. By promoting high ethical standards and training the future workforce, these associations have significantly shaped the service culture in Greater Kansas City.
Now, in collaboration with the Johnny Boy Foundation, these associations are implementing a plan to provide meaningful opportunities for people living with intellectual and developmental disabilities. This initiative aims to integrate individuals living with intellectual and developmental disabilities into the Greater Kansas City workforce, fostering inclusion and enriching our community.
