Hello!

 

 

My name is Hannah Litkenhous, and I am the Volunteer Program Coordinator for the Kentucky Historical Society. Our campus is located in downtown Frankfort. We work to serve the local community and the whole of the Commonwealth by interpreting Kentucky's past. We host various special events and programs, from our First Friday lecture series to camps. But to make these events happen, we need the assistance of our community members.  Currently, we have an increased demand for in-person programming and field trips. That is why I am reaching out to you today. We are in need of volunteers!

 

Specifically, for our VolunTeen Ambassador program, teens ages 13-17 can assist KHS staff with our programs, including Scouting workshops, special events, and our signature school break camps. This is an excellent opportunity to gain work experience, earn valuable service hours for scholarship applications, and meet new friends! Each week of volunteer hours for summer camp totals around 35+, quickly meeting many service club and scholarship eligibility requirements. Plus, we offer many of these opportunities throughout the school year.

 

All new volunteers must apply, interview, and complete a waiver packet and training. Our current training is set for Saturday, May 13, 2023, at 9:00 am and is required for all new and returning VolunTeens. So, be a part of KHS, and join our mission to educate and engage the public through Kentucky history in order to confront the challenges of the future. 

 

I hope to prevail upon you to share our inquiry with your group and networks. Whether that is posting our flyer on your community board, forwarding this email, or making an announcement at your next organizational meeting. We'd be happy for any support that you can give. Folks interested in becoming VolunTeen Ambassadors for KHS can find more information and apply on our website.

Hello Community Contacts,

 

We are very excited to let you know that 2023 Camper Applications are now open! Our camp dates for this year are scheduled to be June 11-16. The link to the application can be found here and below are the instructions for applying, both of which are further accessible to the public. As a reminder, any families can apply if their children are between the ages of 6-18 and have a caregiver who is either currently being treated, in remission for, or deceased due to cancer. If you believe there are any families who would benefit from a hard copy as well, please have them reach out to us and we can mail them a paper copy in either English and/or Spanish. 

 

Before You Get Started:

• The best way to ensure your spot is to fill out the form as soon as you are available, as all applications are processed on a first come first serve basis.
• The application takes approximately 15-20 minutes, however this may vary if your camper requires accommodations.

Instructions:

• Visit kesem.force.com or follow the link provided above.
• Login using your username and password.
• Navigate to the "Pick a Camp" tab and select which Kesem chapter and session you would like to register for.
• Select which camper you would like to register and begin the registration process. Then, you can repeat it for as many campers as would like to attend. 
• Update the parent/guardian emergency contact form, which also allows you to view the status of your application.
• Once you have completed the application, you can view the status of it on the "My Applications" tab.

 

Please feel free to pass on this link to any families you feel would benefit from Camp Kesem Kentucky. For more information, either you or interested families can reach out to us at the email kentucky.outreach@kesem.org or (859)379-8185.

Our department is offering two upcoming Open Houses so that students can learn more about the Dietetics and Human Nutrition majors as pathways into various healthcare careers and opportunities available in our department. The dates are Friday, February 17^th and Friday, April 7^th from 12:30 – 4:30. During this event, students have the opportunity to attend an Introductory Nutrition class (a class required for our majors and students love the content!), meet future professors and some current DHN students, and learn about how the curriculum in our majors aligns with that of health care professions. If you have any students interested in a career in a health field, please share this information with them. Here is the registration link to attend. 

 

Thank you,

Anissa
