How We Serve
KRM has a staff of 55 full and part-time people who provide comprehensive services, in partnership with faith-based organization co-sponsorship, to refugees. KRM’s staff speaks English, Spanish, Bosnian, Arabic, French, Bhutanese, Dinka and Sudanese Arabic and we employ contract translators to work with refugees who speak other languages. KRM also works with volunteers from service and educational institutions in Louisville who provide hours of valuable assistance to KRM programs. Services begin with meeting arriving refugees at the airport and may continue through citizenship. Some of the services provided include:
· Basic needs – housing, furnishings, food, clothing, transportation
· Case management – coordinating services with medical and community service providers for each client
· Youth services – academic tutoring, advanced educational assistance, mentoring, art therapy, employment
· Elderly services – case management, acculturation
· Immigration – green cards, travel documents, family reunion, citizenship
· Employment services for adults – employment assessment, workplace orientation, job placement, translation, and follow-up
· English language training, citizenship and cultural orientation classes
