Welcome Corps Program

Empowering Communities to Welcome Refugees

Launched by the U.S. government, this program allows individuals, families, and community groups to sponsor and support refugees as they start new lives in the United States. By participating in the Welcome Corps, community members provide vital assistance and friendship to refugees, helping them navigate their new surroundings and build a foundation for long-term success.
