SUMMARY:KRM LOU: Monthly Info Session & Volunteer Orientation
DESCRIPTION:Attend a KRM Louisville Info Session & Volunteer Orientation to learn more about refugees and resettlement in KY or to begin volunteering with KRM!

This orientation will provide more info on the volunteer opportunities currently available\, weekly hours and frequency or duration of each department placement\, volunteer application requirements\, and offer an opportunity to ask questions to KRM staff. \nTo learn more about volunteering at any of the KRM office locations (Louisville\, Lexington\, or Northern KY) or to register for a KRM Info Session & Volunteer Orientation\, please visit the Volunteer Page on our website. \nIf you have additional questions about the KRM Louisville volunteering process or application\, please reach out to Volunteer & Co-sponsorship Specialist\, Kristina Lynch: volunteer@kyrm.org.
