The JFCS MOSAIC honorees Immigrants, Refugees and First-Generation Americans who have come to this country and become Leaders, Changemakers, or Humanitarians in the greater Louisville community.
Since 2006, JFCS has proudly celebrated 100 extraordinary individuals representing 48 countries with the JFCS MOSAIC Award. Their powerful stories of commitment, resilience, leadership, and service shine a light on the many ways immigrants, refugees, and first-generation Americans help shape, strengthen, and inspire our community. Next Spring, JFCS will mark the 21st year of this remarkable tradition!
Now it is your turn to help us honor the next group of remarkable leaders. Nominate an inspiring immigrant, refugee, or first-generation American who is leading with courage, creating meaningful change, and serving others across Louisville for a 2027 JFCS MOSAIC Awards.
Nominations are open now through November 1, 2026 and can be submitted HERE.
We invite you to join us for the awards ceremony in May!

The JFCS MOSAIC Awards recognize 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.
The JFCS MOSAIC Awards is the signature fundraising dinner event for Jewish Family & Career Services. All proceeds directly support the critical work we do for our clients and their families.
