Community Conversations: Creating Welcoming Communities: How You Can Get Involved
Watch a panel discussion about a new era of sponsorship and hear from national leaders and local sponsors on creating welcoming communities. Together, we explore the role of programs like the Welcome Corps in building sustainable support networks and share practical ways communities of all sizes can get involved in sponsorship.
The Welcome Corps represents one of the boldest innovations in the U.S. resettlement programs over the past 40 years. Since the program launched in 2023, sponsorship has expanded through Welcome Corps on Campus and Welcome Corps at Work, marking new opportunities for campuses, employers, and everyday people to welcome refugees on their journey to safety and freedom in the United States. Sponsorship programs build on America’s history as a beacon of hope for those seeking refuge and the long tradition of communities at the center of welcoming newcomers.
