Ten other local non-profit organizations are involved in the project: Adelante Hispanic Achievers, American Printing House for the Blind, Backside Learning Center, Beaded Treasures Project, Center for Nonprofit Excellence, Food Literacy Project, Jefferson Memorial Forest, Kentucky Refugee Ministries, Legal Aid Society, and Louisville Metro Parks.
