"My time as an AmeriCorps member has been truly life changing. It’s changed my outlook on myself, on life, it even changed my college major and future career path.
In truth, serving with AmeriCorps is not an easy position. It’s hard work, it’s stressful, it’s frustrating, but above all, it’s worth it. It is so worth it to see the look of “I got it” on a kid’s face.”

Flooding update: The waters are down. We did take some water in our offices, archives, and basement from seepage due to runoff and heavy ground saturation. The Lynn Forney Young Outdoor Classroom’s benches and picnic tables were swept away by the current.
Thank you for your support and love for our community!
So sorry! I have never seen the water that high. In the 37 years that I was there, it never got into the basement where the new offices are.
The library sign for the college is stuck in a tree by the June Buchanan Clinic just before the cemetery.
Yikes!!!
Thank you for the update. Looks bad.
That River certainly looks like it could get angry.

On this episode the Troublesome Boys are in the hot seat! Stacie Fugate and Billy Devericks from the Holler Back! Podcast from the University of Kentucky Appalachian Center, sit down with Jordan Corey…The waters are back and have officially crested the bridge leading over Troublesome. Rain will continue throughout the night.
How is it this morning? Hope you all are safe.
Water is probably high at the greenhouses and Cory's too. Sadly, only going to get worse tonight. Praying for all affected. Stay safe, Josh, and thanks for keeping us all updated.

On this episode of the HindmanCast, the Troublesome Boys sit down with Cassie Mullins Moses, the daughter of former Hindman Settlement School Executive Director, Mike Mullins, to discuss his legacy and his years of service to Hindman. She also shares plenty of stories about what it was like growing up at the Settlement. Check it out at the link below or on Apple Podcasts or Spotify!
Apologies for the audio quality. The WiFi and recording equipment was struggling to cooperate so we had to settle for the Zoom recording.

What a gift this was. I think every board member involved in searching for the new Executive Director needs to listen to this. I not only know about Mike Mullins but a portion of history why Hindman Settlement School remains essential to this day. I am reminded of the phrase, "Standing on the shoulders of giants." Corey and Jordan, these podcasts are so informative. Each one gives me a better understanding of the mission. Such a treasure to have the oral history from your guests.
What a wonderful story. It was so nice to hear about where you’re from!
Awesome job Cassie. I know this had to be difficult and hope it brought back good memories, as well.
You did a wonderful job Cassie. Love you
