📣 On this #WorldRefugeeDay, we're thrilled to announce that CSH's Sponsor Fund is expanding! Thanks to generous support from private donors, the Sponsor Fund is lowering financial barriers for Welcome Corps sponsors applying to be matched with refugees resettling in the U.S. Now through July 31, sponsor groups applying to be matched with a refugee or family they do not know can qualify for a grant to cover 100% of the initial financial requirement. This is part of a shared commitment thanks to private philanthropy efforts to help more groups join this vital humanitarian effort. #WithRefugees https://lnkd.in/dxMbbHv8

Our hearts are full today! This Arab American Heritage month, Basma Alawee is recognized by USCIS as an "Outstanding American by Choice" for her incredible achievements, leadership, and ongoing commitment to supporting and inspiring new Americans. Today, Basma joined 20 new Americans from 13 countries for their naturalization ceremony in Jacksonville as they complete their journey to citizenship and begin their next chapter. She shared her own journey to citizenship from fleeing death threats in Iraq and her career as an engineer to becoming a global refugee leader here in the United States. Citizenship brings opportunity and responsibility for new Americans to contribute to their communities and embrace American values of freedom, service, and welcome. Basma travels around the country and the world sharing messages of hope and opportunity and real-life programs like the Welcome Corps that change lives for people seeking safety. "When I come back through passport control it never gets old for me when the officials look at my documents and tell me, "Welcome Home." Welcome home to all new Americans in Jacksonville and around the country!
