You can make it possible for families to find safety in the United States

Connecting is easy

We connect you to a refugee seeking a sponsor to start a conversation. You decide if you’d like to move forward.

You don’t have to do it alone

Gather your friends, family, colleagues, neighbors – anyone in your network – to form a support system for newcomers.

Security is a top priority

The U.S. government vets newcomers before they enter the country, and screens potential sponsors.

Sponsorship is more important than ever

Right now sponsorship is the only pathway for displaced Ukrainians seeking refuge in the U.S. and the most secure pathway to safety in the U.S. for Venezuelans fleeing violence and oppression. You can be that bridge to safety.
