To apply for this program call the state office for Kentucky Impact at (502)564-7610. You will need to ask for a nomination form. Once the nomination form is completed, a committee of professionals will review the form to determine if Kentucky Impact is suitable for the child. If Kentucky Impact is not the best source of assistance for the child, then the child will be referred to the appropriate agency. If the child is accepted to the program, a service coordinator will help create a team of adults that will work closely with the child.
