Key Training Center

Key Training Center Since 1966. Historically, expansion of Key Center programs and services was driven by a consistently increasing need within the local community.

Located in beautiful Citrus County, Florida – The Key Training Center, a private nonprofit Florida 501(c) (3) organization, is dedicated to serving adults with developmental disabilities. The Key Training Center was established in 1966 to unlock and open the door of opportunity for people with developmental disabilities and other developmental disabilities. Expansion also was driven by the agency’

s fundamental belief that programs and services should be available to all developmentally disabled people who need them. Expansion, however, was possible because the Key Center enjoyed steadfast community support in Citrus County. As a community, Citrus County residents embraced, with compassion, our mentally challenged friends as full-citizen partners. The Key Center has been recognized as a leader and innovator in initiatives associated with improving the quality of life for people with developmental disabilities and has grown to serve about 1,300 consumers since it began. Evolution of the Key Center as one of Florida’s largest and most efficient, not-for-profit, agencies serving the developmentally disabled.
