“Our collective story of resilience and hard work can offer hope to others in our communities“
-Amos Izerimana, 2024 JFCS MOSAIC Honoree, Director at Louisville Metro’s Office of Immigrant Affairs
The JFCS MOSAIC Awards recognizes refugees and immigrants in Greater Louisville who have impacted their community. Since 2006, we have honored 95 refugees, immigrants, and first-generation Americans from 47 countries, who now call Louisville home and have made a difference in the community. The JFCS MOSAIC Awards celebrate the diversity and accomplishments of these individuals as they help build the City of Louisville and the Commonwealth of Kentucky into a brighter, more inclusive place. In 2024, a new award was created called the Corporate Changemaker Award to recognize a local business or company that has made a tangible impact in supporting immigrants and refugees and is creating positive change within our community.
