Our Story.  The NKYAB launched in 2011 with a simple yet powerful premise:  
“High school students need to have more opportunities to be empowered to guide their own learning, to make a difference in the lives of others, and to make critical decisions that will lead to action - that will impact the world in which they live.”   - Tim Hanner,  2011.
 

Former Kenton Co. Superintendent and Navigo Founder Tim Hanner sought to expand on a successful program he created for his district called “Hanner’s Heroes.”     Each month, he would meet with high school leaders and what Tim calls “student magnets” to tackle Two Big Questions: 
                                                                                 What will it take for ALL students to be successful?

                                                                                                  How can students help to make it happen?

In addition to state-of-the-art facilities, the site offers students the chance to engage in meaningful service projects​“on-site.”   They also will get the opportunity to create a student-run television program showcasing their service projects that will appear on TBNK Cable this Spring. 
     Life Learning Center's Mitch Haralson hosts the NKYAB students and works with them each month on the on-site service.
