Kourageous Kids is a not-for-profit 501c3 run by Hosparus Health geared toward helping any child with a serious or life-limiting illness. Kourageous Kids provides these children and their families with a team of experts to guide them with issues such as symptom control, counseling and spiritual support, and referrals to other community resources.
Louisville Youth Group (LYG), a 501c3, was created for LGBTQIA+ young adults (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer or questioning, intersex, and asexual or allied). The primary target age was 13-20, but the nonprofit has found people searching for support for youth younger than that.
Grace Kids is a church for children who live in a depressed, high-crime area of Louisville. Many of the children have little supervision, come from challenging situations, and have no support systems. These "Adverse Childhood Experience" (ACE) children are the foundation of Grace Kids.
The Newcomer Academy is part of the Jefferson County Public Schools. The transitional school was created in 2010 to meet the varying linguistic needs of new English language learners. The academy began this school year with 345 students and now has over 500. After the first year, most students are transitioned over to their respective schools in their English Student Learner (ESL) programs.
Many children in our communities have no bed in which to sleep, and the Build-a-Bed initiative aims to provide a quality sleeping space for every child.
Enjoy your first weekend of spring with these events.
