How you can collaborate with ATBHK

ATBHK welcomes collaboration from educators, organizations, and community members who share our commitment to uplifting and teaching the histories of all Kentuckians. Educators can join one of our working groups, participate in professional learning opportunities, pilot lessons, or serve as reviewers for new materials, while schools and districts may partner with us to host workshops or co-develop curriculum.

Museums, archives, and cultural institutions can work with us on resource development, exhibits, and educator trainings, and individuals or groups may also volunteer, provide financial support, or partner with us on events throughout the year. Across the Commonwealth, every collaborator plays a vital role in advancing ATBHK’s mission to build a more accurate, inclusive, and transformative approach to teaching Kentucky’s history.
