Welcome to the Somali Community of Louisville (SCL)
The Somali Community of Louisville (SCL) is a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting and uplifting Somali and other African immigrant communities in Kentucky. We believe in building strong, self-sufficient families through education, economic empowerment, cultural preservation, and leadership development.
Our goal is to bridge gaps, create opportunities, and ensure that every individual has access to the resources they need to succeed. Whether you’re looking for educational support, job training, health services, or simply a sense of belonging, we are here to help.
Vision
To build a thriving, empowered, and united Somali community in Louisville, where individuals and families have access to opportunities, resources, and support to achieve success while preserving their rich cultural heritage.
Mission
Our mission is to empower the Somali and African immigrant communities in Louisville by providing essential services, educational programs, economic opportunities, and cultural initiatives that foster integration, resilience, and long-term success.
CULTURE
We present and sponsor the annual Ethiopian Day festival which puts on display Somali cultural music and food. The purpose is to have people who have different cultures than Somalis to understand and gain in-depth knowledge of the Somali culture. Sharing culture, art and history is a great way to build understanding and empathy across cultures.
