SUMMARY:KRM LOU: August 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! These sessions are offered on the first Thursday of every month (unless otherwise noted) and presented in a hybrid format (options of Zoom or in-person). \nFor those who would like to learn more about refugee resettlement but aren’t ready or able to volunteer at the moment – You’re welcome to join us for the info session in the first segment (approx. 45 min.). The info session provides a better understanding of topics\, such as the refugee journey\, resettlement in Kentucky\, cultural awareness\, and KRM services for refugee and immigrant clients. \nIf you are applying to volunteer with KRM Louisville\, you will need to attend both segments of the session\, which includes both the info session and volunteer orientation. 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)\, please visit the Volunteer Page on our website. \nREGISTER HERE to attend an Info Session & Volunteer Orientation. PLEASE NOTE: The registration form automatically registers you for the closest upcoming session. \nIf you have additional questions about the KRM Louisville volunteering process or application\, please reach out to Volunteer & Development Coordinator\, Ivonne Obando: volunteer@kyrm.org

SUMMARY:Celebrating Our Neighborhood: History of Haiti
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the fourth-annual Celebrating Our Neighborhood event series in partnership with Louisville Free Public Libraries (LFPL)\, as we explore and showcase the arts and culture of Haiti! \nFor the second event in this three-part series\, Dr. Crystal Felima\, Assistant Professor of Anthropology and African American & Africana Studies at the University of Kentucky\, will discuss the complex history of the first Black Republic and the second independent country in the Western Hemisphere.  The History of Haiti will be presented at Bon Air Library on Saturday\, August 29th\, from 2:00 – 3:30 PM. \nThis is a free event\, but registration is recommended to guarantee seating availability. REGISTER HERE or call (502) 574-1623. \nAdditional events in the series include the Cuisine of Haiti (July 18th – Northeast Regional Library) and the Music & Arts of Haiti (September 12th – South Central Regional Library)\, and feature artists\, scholars and musicians from Kentucky’s Haitian communities. Check out the lineup and register at LFPL’s Celebrating Our Neighborhood event page. \nAbout the series: \nDebuting in 2023\, each annual Celebrating Our Neighborhood series highlights the arts and culture of one of the many vibrant immigrant and refugee communities of Louisville across three events (cuisine\, history and music/art)\, held at different library locations throughout the city. Previous years have showcased the arts and culture of Cuba (2023)\, Iraq (2024)\, and the Democratic Republic of Congo (2025). \nThis unique series not only offers the opportunity to experience and learn about a diversity of global cultures\, it also aims to elevate visibility of marginalized communities as well as build bridges between neighbors. By uplifting immigrant and refugee voices\, Celebrating Our Neighborhood also helps to demonstrate our shared humanity and connectedness with one another around the world. \nAll Celebrating Our Neighborhood events are free\, but registration is recommended to guarantee seating availability.
