  • Hi my name is Mary. I went to the Great Kid's Summit and really liked the program that you have and I learned all kinds of things that are going to help me out later in life when I go to apply for a job. Your program made me want to go out here and help kids that are on the urge of dropping out of school. Being able to go to the great kid's summit was a great experience for me. I would also like to say that I am interested in going to Kentucky University College after I graduate from high school.

  • Ready for Life let us as students use our voice and let us generate our own ideas. The activity we did could help students all around Kentucky.
