About KEA-AE
The Kentucky Educators Association for Aspiring Educators (KEA-AE) is a student organization designed for future teachers who are passionate about education, advocacy within the profession and professional growth. As the collegiate-level counterpart to the National Education Association (NEA), the club provides members with opportunities to develop their teaching skills, connect with experienced educators, and stay informed about current issues in education. Through workshops, service projects, and advocacy efforts, KEA-AE supports aspiring educators in building a strong foundation for their careers while fostering a community dedicated to making a positive impact in schools and communities.
Students involved will organize campus wide events as well as participate in community engagement. Additionally, KEA-AE offers its members unique leadership opportunities both on campus and across the state.
