Change will not come if we wait for some other person, or if we wait for some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek.


President Barack Obama

Our Challenge

Around the world, refugee, immigrant, and underserved youth face barriers to belonging, mental health support, education, and opportunity. Too many young people are left disconnected from systems designed to help them thrive.

Our Solution

More Than a Smile Foundation creates community-led spaces where youth can heal, connect, and lead through mentorship, sports, arts, wellness, and leadership development. From Louisville to refugee camps in Kenya, we are building globally connected pathways for young people to thrive and drive change in their communities.

Our Mission

Our mission is to empower immigrant, refugee, and underserved youth and families to overcome systemic barriers and thrive through mentorship, education, and culturally responsive, community-led support.


Rooted in lived experience, we create safe spaces where individuals feel seen, supported, and equipped to build confident, healthy, and successful futures. 

Our Focus Areas

  • Youth Development & Leadership
    Mentorship, education support, sports, and leadership opportunities that equip young people to grow, lead, and succeed 
  • Mental Health & Well-Being
    Trauma-informed programming that promotes healing, belonging, and emotional resilience 
  • Women & Family Empowerment
    Creating pathways to economic mobility, leadership, and stability through accessible, family-centered programming 
  • Community Engagement & Resource Access
    Building trusted spaces that connect families to essential resources, services, and support systems 

    Visit us

    Come meet us at our satellite location: 


    2750 S 7th Street, Louisville, KY 40215. 


    Mobile Walking Office: We also operate a mobile, walking office meeting immigrant families directly in their neighborhoods, homes, and community spaces in Louisville. This approach allows us to stay flexible, accessible, and responsive to the real-time needs of those we serve, including refugees seeking support. Whether you visit us in person or we come to you.
