IN-NOW
THE INDIANA NETWORK OF WELCOMERS
On July 17, we launched the Indiana Network of Welcomers (IN-NOW) with over 60 leaders across sectors. You showed up with energy, ideas, and a shared commitment to holistic integration in Indiana.
We’re bringing together leaders in economic development, workforce, business, education, health care, civic, and faith sectors to align resources, share knowledge, and create systems of support for immigrants, refugees, and newcomers to our state.
This event was hosted by Patchwork Indy and the University of Indianapolis Center for Service-Learning & Community Engagement, with special thanks to our sponsor, Welcome.US.

CONTRIBUTE YOUR VOICE
On October 12, 2024, community leaders, stakeholders, lawmakers, and experts gathered to address Indiana's rapidly changing immigrant and refugee landscape, discuss potential collaborative efforts, and network with others from around the state.
The ideas presented and discussed in this summit gave birth to the IN-NOW (Indiana Network of Welcomers). This year, we will host the second iteration of the summit with the same goals, but this time, in a vastly different world from the one we found ourselves in back in October 2024.
Network, discuss problems, and find solutions on October 9, 2025.
