Elizabethtown, Kentucky
Rarely have our staff received a welcome as warm and enthusiastic as we experienced in Elizabethtown. From the first meeting with Elizabethtown Community & Technical College (ECTC), it was clear that a collaboration was beginning to support not only student parents and their families but also any student or prospective student wanting the education necessary for their chosen career field. With the new and innovative industries coming to Hardin County, FSH is glad to be a partner in preparing area residents for new workforce opportunities. In addition to having an office and staff at ECTC, Family Scholar House is working with the college and community leadership to build a residential campus for student-parent families.

When you volunteer for Family Scholar House, you give our parent participants the support they need to pursue higher education and enter the workforce. Our volunteer needs vary widely throughout the year, but we can always use your time and talents for the good of those we serve.

MyKY.info is a free app designed by Family Scholar House to help individuals quickly find the resources they need. It’s available to anyone with internet access, and at strategically placed kiosks in high-traffic areas.
MyKY.info provides a wide range of free resources that have been vetted by trained staff, including food pantries, clothing banks, homeless shelters, rent and transportation assistance, legal help, educational support, medical services, and more.
The primary users are those needing free critical services to overcome mental, physical, emotional and financial barriers, as well as first responders, family members of those in need, or other service agency staff seeking services for their clients. This includes law enforcement, hospital staff, court officials, and the network of caring human services professionals in agencies across the Commonwealth.
The app opens with a “For You” dial, allowing users to filter results by sex, age, family status, and other demographics. Users can also access all services via the “Services Dial,” where everyday needs are represented with icons. Clicking an icon reveals a menu of resource options and a list of available services.
Below the dial, two urgent needs icons lead to “Crisis Lines and Safe Places” and “Live Help.” The latter connects users with specialists at Family Scholar House’s Trager Response Center for non-emergency support.
The app features a language option at the top of the home screen so users can switch between English, Spanish and French, accommodating families from multiple backgrounds. ... See MoreSee Less
