Make a Difference.
Make a life-altering and, in most cases, lifesaving difference in the lives of a refugee or refugee family that needs your help.
We have partnered with the Welcome Corps program to empower Hoosiers with the ability to sponsor the resettlement of refugees.
About Refugee Private Sponsorship
Through the US State Department program, Welcome Corps, you'll work on a team of at least five people (a "sponsor group") to sponsor a refugee or refugee family's resettlement in the United States. This means receiving them at the airport, helping them with housing, finding a job, enrolling kids in school, and accessing community services during their first 90 days in the United States.
How We Can Help
Refugee sponsorship can sound daunting, but we're hear to help at every step of the way!

Although you are required under Welcome Corps to be engaged in a refugee's resettlement for the first 90-days, the strong bonds created from processes such as these lasts for years to come, and we will continue to be by your side to provide community and advice.
