Kentucky Humanities Council, Inc.

The Kentucky Humanities Council, Inc. is dedicated t Telling Kentucky's Story through programs and services that create a legacy of pride in the wealth of Kentucky culture. We strive to enable all Kentuckians to take part in learning, sharing, and teaching each other about Kentucky's rich heritage. We are committed to providing leadership and developing resources that support the needs of Kentuckians to examine our values, understand our common heritage, and build stronger Kentucky communities based on the knowledge, insight, and respect inherent in the humanities.

Kentucky Chautauqua, a series of one-person historic dramas that travel throughout Kentucky and bring famous as well as unknown Kentuckians to life. This program is being expanded to classrooms.

We also publish a magazine, Kentucky Humanities.

We are involved with family literacy through Prime Time Family reading time, a program for at-risk youth and their families.

Volunteer Board members help design these programs, attend them for evaluation, and raise the funds to make them possible.
