In the spirit of compassion that this day represents, volunteers will prepare our spaces for Welcome (U)niversity week — a three-day program that helps immigrant and refugee families navigate life in Louisville.

Bring joy to our families by preparing delicious snacks in our kitchen! Volunteers are invited to create healthy snacks or bake sweet treats to brighten everyone’s day. All snacks must be prepared on-site and ingredients should be brought in their original packaging.  This is a great opportunity for individuals or groups of 8 or less.

We are partnering with the historical Mt Lebanon Missionary Baptist Church to host summer camp programming this summer for 50 Louisville kids, and we'd like to make sure the outdoor space is prepped and ready for them!

RISE in Parkland: A Day of Compassion is a volunteer opportunity hosted by Option to Success Inc. that invites community members to take part in a hands-on clean-up and beautification effort at the future RISE Campus in the Parkland neighborhood.

This opportunity allows volunteers to directly contribute to improving the physical environment by removing trash and debris, cleaning high-visibility areas, and helping prepare the site to become a safe and welcoming space for youth and families. Volunteers will be organized into teams and assigned specific areas to ensure an efficient and meaningful impact.

In honor of Muhammad Ali’s legacy of service, this project provides a tangible way for individuals to give back to the community while supporting the development of a campus that will offer housing, behavioral health services, and life-skills programming.

Through this opportunity, volunteers will not only improve a physical space but also play a role in advancing long-term community impact and supporting the future of youth and families in Parkland.

Help transport our youth and young adults in wheelchairs from their rooms to our gym to enjoy an orchestra performance! 

Join OneWest and our community partners for the Day of Compassion as we come together to serve families in the West End of Louisville.

Volunteers and skilled contractors will work in teams to complete minor home repairs and safety improvements for selected households. Projects may include small fixes such as door and window repairs, light maintenance, safety installations, and general home upkeep.

This initiative reflects our commitment to practical, hands-on service—meeting real needs and strengthening our community through collaboration.
