Helping refugee elders learn English, attain US citizenship, and become active members of their community
The Refugee Elder Program is a collaborative effort by Kentucky Refugee Ministries (KRM) and Migration and Refugee Services (MRS) of Catholic Charities. The program is made possible by donations, fundraising, and a grant from the Office of Refugee Resettlement which is administered by the Kentucky Office for Refugees.
The Elder Program meets twice a week for English and citizenship classes, community speaker presentations, art lessons, and field trips in the Kentuckiana area. Recognized as a model program by the Center for Applied Linguistics, we are dedicated to helping our elders learn English, attain their US citizenship, and become active members in the community. We would love for you to join us in this endeavor! For more information or to get involved, please contact Eva Nyerges at enyerges@kyrm.org
