Year Long Literacy and Justice For All

Close your eyes and allow yourself to accompany me on a journey to a scene all too familiar to many inner city minority youth. While on this journey you meet a child raised in a home with only one parent who is forced to work three jobs just to make ends meet. The only attention this child gets is at school because he never see's his mother. He also never gets any homework or help, but that’s the price he must pay for being born in a single parent home where he needs food and clothes to sustain his daily living. This youth like many of his other counterparts struggles at reading.

Due to Louisville's large federal refugee resettlement program, there is a constant influx of refugees. Approximately seven percent of America's immigrants are refugees, while Louisville's share is almost twice the national at 15 percent. As victims of trauma, refugee youth need guidance and direction. Some children, however, need extra support due to their exceptionally difficult past. New Beginnings, a mentoring program supported by Kentucky Refugee Ministries, will provide extra support to youth in need.
