Welcoming at 250

“It's made me a better citizen of my country and a better citizen of the world. I feel empowered to make a difference in the lives of people who need it."
“Although I'm just one person, there is so much change that one person can make."
“They've learned how to become citizens, but I've learned about life from them.”

Volunteer
Our citizenship initiative is launching soon, and we want you with us from day one. Sign up to walk alongside someone during one of the most important and meaningful steps of their American story.
Want to help someone become a citizen?
The final steps toward citizenship are where a Welcomer like you can make all the difference. The people walking this path have put in the work and earned their shot. What many of them don't have is someone in their corner to cheer them on through the final stretch.
Our impact
More than 2 million American citizens in 50 states representing 12,000+ zip codes have rolled up their sleeves to do this important work of welcoming newcomers.
More than 800 community organizations nationwide partner with Welcome.US—from Rotary Clubs and Lions Clubs to local churches, chambers of commerce, veteran groups, small businesses, and civic organizations.
Welcomers and community partners support newcomers with housing, job connections, English classes, school enrollment, donated goods, and more. Through these efforts, Welcomers have contributed over $7 billion in resources.
