Get Involved: Sponsor a Refugee

Welcome Corps

Welcome Corps is the most hands-on way to support a refugee’s arrival to the United States. Community members in groups of at least five adults agree to provide the equivalent of case management services for refugee individuals or families. This includes finding housing, employment, English classes, enrolling children in school, and all navigation of their new communities.
