Who should attend?
Americans living in the U.S. who are interested in learning how to become a private sponsor through the Welcome Corps
Session Overview
The Welcome Corps is a new service opportunity for Americans to welcome refugees seeking freedom and safety and, in turn, make a difference in their own communities. Through the Welcome Corps, Americans work in groups of at least five to welcome refugee newcomers by securing and preparing initial housing, greeting refugee newcomers at the airport, enrolling children in school, and helping adults to find employment.
In this session, you will hear from sponsors who have already welcomed newcomers into their communities. You’ll also hear from members of the Welcome Corps team who will discuss:
-the responsibilities of private sponsorship;
-how the Welcome Corps supports private sponsors; and
-how you can apply to become a private sponsor.
