The Department of State, in collaboration with the Department of Health and Human Services, on Jan. 19 announced the Welcome Corps, a new private sponsorship program that will enable Americans to sponsor refugees arriving through the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program and directly support their resettlement.
Through the Welcome Corps, Americans will 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.
