The KeelMate Program What is KeelMate? KeelMate is a parallel program for adult learners. (KeelWorks will not implement the KeelMate program until the KeelMid program is successfully functioning.)

KeelMates complete program engagement and personal assessment first. With a needs and strengths identified, mates are assigned to "berths" comprised of mates with complementing strengths and weaknesses.

Once assigned, mates collaborate to create individual short and long-term goals with a progress measurement strategy for each member. A berth is comprised of no more than ten mates and no less than eight.

Each mate strives to meet personal goals but also to demonstrate good keel. Good keel embodies the core competencies, attitudes, and values that make us constructive members of society, providing leadership, demonstrating emotional intelligence, and the ability to collaborate for a better community and a better world.
