Stronger Together
Our Partners
For 25 years, Teach Kentucky has served as the connecting force between school districts, universities, financial institutions, and community organizations across Kentucky.
School District Partner — Since 2001
Jefferson County Public Schools
Teach Kentucky doesn’t work alone. Our partnerships with Jefferson County Public Schools, four university MAT programs, Class Act Federal Credit Union, and AmeriCorps have been essential to every teacher we’ve recruited, every classroom we’ve filled, and every student we’ve reached. These relationships are the infrastructure that makes the TKY model work — and the reason it has lasted 25 years.
