Mentor Corps (Mentors) Project

Volunteers are asked to give a six-month commitment to mentoring a refugee individual and/or family.

Libraries, parks, etc.) in Metro Louisville. Some suggested activities with the Mentor Program include helping refugees shop frugally at grocery stores, consignment shops, going to yard sales as well as how to use cleanings products and properly storing and preparing food.

Requirements: Criminal Background Check, completion of two training sessions, and a commitment of 2 hours per week.
