Welcome Corps

“Helping people, helping others, is really the best thing you could do in the world. Assisting others to succeed, to get ahead, it will be a blessing for them from God because they are really making a change in people’s lives.” Thanks to the Uhuru sponsor group, Rebeca is finding support and acceptance in the LGBTQ+ community of Boston.

"As America welcomed me, I urge my fellow Haitians here in the United States to consider how we can pay it forward. Becoming a sponsor will change your life and the lives of those around you." When Dr. Simone Bamba heard about the Welcome Corps she rallied her church behind the cause. After much preparation and anticipation, the group welcomed Ibrahim, a Somali refugee, to Boston in July.

There are many reasons why we might want to help our new neighbors, including our own experiences as refugees or immigrants, our appreciation for diversity in our community, and feeling called to serve others in their time of need. The members of the Uhuru sponsor group shared their reasons why they raised their hands to help refugees find safety and a new home in the U.S. Read their story and learn more about becoming a sponsor ➡️ bit.ly/3x0dqFN

Every member of the Beacon Heights Welcoming Friends sponsor group brought a unique skill, which helped them provide support and resources to the refugee family they welcomed into their community.

The answer is yes! If your group has specific preferences for the refugee or family you want to sponsor, such as a shared language or nationality, you can let us know when you apply. It can be very helpful to share a language with the newcomers you are welcoming! We are committed to making the best possible match for sponsor groups and refugees, and encourage you to be open-minded and flexible about your preferences.
