Join the journey.
Become a KRM Partner today.

Become one of the hundreds of Kentuckians working to welcome refugees to their new home. You can make a world of difference in the lives of new Americans by sharing your time and talents. Join us at a session to learn more about how you can stay engaged.

We offer monthly orientations for those who want to begin the volunteer process and learn more about KRM’s available volunteering options. We also hold monthly virtual info sessions for anyone interested in learning more about the resettlement process, KRM’s services, and ways to get involved. This is a great opportunity to expand your knowledge of refugee resettlement, gain cultural awareness resources, stay updated with our current programming, and ask questions.
