Kristin Jacobson named to CAC Kentucky board

Kristin Jacobson of Columbia has been selected to serve on the Children's Advocacy Centers of Kentucky board of directors.

She has worked for several years with the Lake Cumberland Children's Advocacy Center based in Russell County, as assistant director, and now director. Her interest in the Center began when she interned with the LCCAC while a student at Campbellsville University's Carver School of Social Work. She also served through the years as a volunteer.

The Center serves children who are alleged victims of sexual abuse, severe physical abuse, or witness to violent crimes.


Kristin has seen the LCCAC through its development of a new satellite center located in Nancy, KY, filling a need that has been growing for several years to save time for families who have to drive from one area of the ten-county district to another.

Through a foundation grant from Elgin that serves Appalachian areas, it has become a reality. It particularly serves Pulaski and McCreary Counties.

The Center is state funded through the Cabinet for Health and Family Services and federally funded through Victims of Crime Act (VOCA) and serves the ten county area which includes Adair, Casey, Taylor, Green, Cumberland and Russell.

A specialty 'I Care About Kids' license plate is available through the County Court Clerk's office with money raised going to help the Center with funding.

Kristin and her husband Colin have two daughters, Nora and Lily.
