Q&A with Kurt Hamilton
Executive Director for the Kearney Enrichment Council
Q. What makes the Kearney Enrichment Council special?
A. “Our employees and many volunteers work hard to serve Kearney, Holt, and the surrounding communities. We offer programming such as the Kearney Senior Center, Fire House Community Center, youth programming, Kearney Family Foundation, and Shop with a Cop. And coming soon is the new Spark Academy down the street from the Fire House.”
Q. Why haven’t we heard of you?
A. “We constantly work behind the scenes to bring programming to Kearney. Did you know that more than 50,000 people attend events organized by KEC each year? Or, that we have twenty-two paid staff members?
Q. With so many events and programs, how does KEC stay in business?
A. “We’re a 501(c)3 non-profit, so we rely on fundraising, donations, and what revenue comes in from venue space and events.”

The Fulfillment House began in 2018 as a passion project for two local business owners as one of their sons with Down Syndrome was navigating the often-difficult transition to life after high school. They saw the potential to take an existing business need and transform it into an enriching employment opportunity for adults with special needs.
