Overview of KSEC
State Network
Become a Member
One of our primary goals is to foster networks of people who care about developing the resilience of their communities. Whatever that looks like! Organizing work takes so many forms. No matter your interest area, we want to give you the space to grow it.
Fill out our member form to connect, whether you're ready to be active or not.
General Membership:
A space for young Kentuckians to plan, problem solve, and dream up community organizing goals. While we aim to center youth voices that are erased and left out, there is a place for everyone in this work. Movement elders, alumni, and community members are an key part in empowering and building knowledge.
Membership is open to all.
Delegates:
Community, school, and org Representatives to strengthen statewide movements and actions.
If you would like your campus organization (high school or college) to be a member of our network check out the campus affiliates page!
Alliances:
Like people, we're not looking for perfection. We want to stand in principled unity with folks who want to create a better world. Again, it's going to take all of us.
Upcoming Events
Click on picture to sign up.
We will be having a fall summit, most likely in September, to have a strategy retreat. The goal is to truly pivot to shared collective decision making and understanding how we can operate in a non-hierarchical ways that avoids hoarding power. This is going to be a badass opportunity for folks to think about how they could do similar models in their own areas of work as well (whether it's facilitating a team, event, or an organization.) Stay tuned for more details to come.
-Monthly Webinars-
March: Anti-Oppression 101
April: Rethinking Economics
We're working on doing monthly webinars. They are currently paused due to all the other programming in summer, especially Catalyst, going on. We're already planning for content post-Catalyst to continue from the week of learning and community building.

Working Group Projects
Mutual Aid Working Group
MAWG Interest Form
Calls temporarily on hold, but there are ways to still plug in to current projects!
Projects currently revolve around grow rooms (creating accessible gardens in communities) and our Care Network. Hoping to launch learning circles to share lessons from radical literature, podcasts, etc. after Catalyst.

Steering Committee
Currently taking applications throughout the year.
|
|
Though the team works to collaboratively set goals + intentions of the group, Steering Committee's general purpose is to 'steer' the work being done, take part of core decisions, and bring in member's + their input. This role would be for folks more interested in the internal organizational projects happening. Learn more here.
We are currently taking applications! Due to our "relaunch" of KSEC we're building enough leadership for folks to step into this kind of role and intaking new Steering Committee Members though the beginning of the year. |

Organizational Projects
You do not have to be a member of the Steering Committee to be involved in KSEC Organizational Projects. We have plenty of projects to get involved with, across a variety of interests and capacities. Fill out our Member Form to get connected in these ways.
- Tabling and Outreach Events
- Entertainment and Activity Planning
- Art and Content Creation
- Storytelling + Media
- Fundraising
- Event Planning
We want to support you.
If there's a project you're interested in doing we would love to give you space to start it. We may not have capacity to do tasks within the project, but if we can connect you to people, grants, resources we will do it. There's tons of space for creativity and sharing space at our events and programming. Our priorities are:
- Sharpening skills that will serve you no matter where you want to go
- Creating community and joy
- Providing space to dig deep into the things you care about in ways that feel valuable to you
