Welcome
Citrus County, Florida – The Key Training Center, a private nonprofit Florida 501(c) (3) organization, is dedicated to serving adults with mental retardation and other developmental disabilities. Since 1966, the Key Center has offered “Kindness, Love, Dignity, and Respect” to individuals and their families. We offer a myriad of programs and services to meet the social, vocational, residential/housing and advocacy needs of Citrus County and West Central Florida. Funds to support the Center are derived from Voluntary Health Agency Grants and assistance at the Federal, State and Local Government levels... together with private/public contributions.
The Key Center is the only facility of its kind in Citrus County and the surrounding areas providing vitally needed community based services to nearly 300 developmentally disabled adult citizens. The Key Center has served over twelve hundred (1,200) developmentally disabled citizens since its inception in 1966. Program participants are accepted and services are offered regardless of age, race, religion, color, creed, sex, nationality, or ability to pay. The Key Center takes great pride in being viewed as a leader and innovator at the Federal, State and Local level in the delivery of community based services to the developmentally disabled.

ReMax Hot Air Balloon Coming to Citrus County
Ever want to ride in a hot air balloon? This is your chance to try it out. The ReMax Balloon will be at the Crystal River Mall on Saturday, July 19th for tethered rides courtesy of ReMax Realty 1. The adventure will begin at 9:00 am and continue as long as the weather permits. This experience can be yours for a donation of $5.00.
You will rise majestically and enjoy the serenity of a short float in the skies over Crystal River in your hot air balloon. This is more than just a balloon ride - it's a ballooning experience you'll not soon forget.
Kans 2 Kids will have a collection trailer at the site. Bring your aluminum cans to recycle, convert them to cash to help charity, and live green.
