Kentucky Refugee Ministries - Louisville

“Seeing how immigration law operates and what programs are applicable to someone in a completely different culture and country”

“I loved coordinating with my supervisors to plan and implement the Summer Youth Program for the refugee children! After the summer program, which lasted 5 weeks, we worked on registering all the children (over 500!) with the local school system, ensuring their bus location, and connecting them with resources to obtain uniforms and school supplies. During my internship, I fostered many close friendships with the clients at Kentucky Refugee Ministries, and I was able to learn how international relations affect human rights.”
