 The Business & Education Network is an online portal that connects citizens to volunteer opportunities within the Fayette County Public Schools. Business professionals in the community can bring relevancy into the classroom by sharing their time, knowledge and expertise. Volunteers indicate how they'd like to interact with education, and when an opportunity matches their interests, they'll be notified. Simple, easy, connected!

The programs and services of the Lexington-Fayette County Health Department cover a wide variety of needs related to citizens' health and well-being. When you eat at a restaurant, relax in a health club hot tub, pick up your child from the day-care center, or send your child to school, you are benefitting from activities of the health department.
