Our Work

Our mission is to unleash the desire and capacity of people across America to welcome newcomers and help them thrive here. Our vision is a nation that builds strong, welcoming communities supported by durable policies and a shared culture of belonging.

Building a nation of Welcomers

By mobilizing Americans to welcome newcomers, support aspiring Americans, and share their stories Welcome.US is transforming how we welcome—and providing solutions that help heal our national divides.

Welcoming our new neighbors has long been part of the American story, and most Americans agree that thoughtful immigration policy strengthens our communities. Today, our approach to welcoming and creating community-led solutions is often sidelined and politicized. Welcoming should never be partisan—it’s an American tradition that benefits us all.

How Welcome.US fits in

Welcome.US inspires and empowers Americans to directly serve their communities and live out welcoming values that transcend politics. By equipping people with practical tools and connecting them with fellow community members, we’re building a nationwide network of Welcomers leading solutions that strengthen communities from the ground up.

Empowering community solutions

We create opportunities for Americans from all walks of life to lead the way in expanding our capacity to welcome while strengthening their communities.
