Community Conversations: Welcome with Pride: Resettling LGBTQI+ Refugees through Welcome Corps
There can be many obstacles during the resettlement experience, which are often made even more challenging when holding a queer identity. Join us in embracing Pride Month with a conversation highlighting the experiences of LGBTQI+ refugees and the critical role of sponsors in creating an accepting and welcoming resettlement experience.
Rainbow Railroad, the first queer organization partnering with Welcome Corps to bring LGBTQI+ refugees to the United States, supports LGBTQI+ refugees by connecting them with queer affirming sponsors, filling a critical gap in the resettlement process. At this event, you will learn about one such experience from the Welcome Corps sponsor who worked with Rainbow Railroad to welcome a LGBTQI+ refugee through Welcome Corps.
