Community sponsorship is a whole-of-society approach to the welcome and integration of those who have been forcibly displaced. It brings neighbors together and provides a safe and humane pathway to welcome newcomers.

We are working tirelessly to preserve sponsorship pathways during the pause of the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program, which has stopped all refugee travel and overseas processing, including for Welcome Corps sponsors.

3 Ways to Support Refugee Resettlement

Contact your elected officials.

There’s a growing movement of sponsors advocating for the reinstatement of refugee resettlement and the Welcome Corps. Adding your voice lifts up the real impact on communities who have been left in the dark about the future of private sponsorship.

This guide provides some tips on making a phone call, sending an email, or filing a case inquiry about your Welcome Corps application.

Welcome Afghan allies in need of urgent support.

With resettlement programs halted and imminent deportations in Pakistan and Albania, thousands of Afghan allies are arriving without the critical support they need after risking their lives to support U.S. troops during the 20-year war in Afghanistan.

One of the most tangible ways to step up right now is through sponsorship.

Donate to support resettlement efforts.

Donating is a powerful way to support refugee sponsorship, even if you don’t have the time or capacity to be a sponsor right now. Our small team is determined to uplift the countless communities ready to welcome, families eager to help, and lives put on pause.

Every dollar counts. Your gift helps ensure long-term impact for those seeking safety and the American communities eager to welcome them.
