JFCS is proud to launch the JFCS Community Chats! These quarterly events bring together a panel of experts and activists who discuss pressing needs and topics affecting the Greater Louisville Community. It’s a great way to learn about crucial topics facing Louisvillians and find out how to utilize resources available and become advocates for equality! Community Chats are free but we request that you RSVP for each event for planning purposes.
If you have a suggestion or a topic you would like to see covered by a JFCS Community Chat, please email Courtney Evans at cevans@jfcslouisville.org.
