Welcome.US at the Table

Hosting a Welcome Table

Register for our next live webinar on Thursday, May 15, at 3 p.m. ET.

Join us on May 15th for an update on ongoing policy changes affecting private sponsorship, including humanitarian parole and refugee pathways. We will also hear from Welcomers across the country about the creative ways they’ve educated and engaged their communities in support of private sponsorship.

You won’t want to miss the launch of our guide to hosting a Welcome Table. This new resource includes steps to facilitate a small group gathering focused on promoting our shared value of welcoming and taking action together in support of newcomers.

What is Welcome.US at the Table?

Join us the third Thursday of every month at 3 p.m. ET to participate in a national conversation about our joint work of welcoming. These webinars are designed for sponsors and Welcomers who care about private sponsorship pathways, the newcomers we’ve welcomed, and the stories of welcome that unite us.

For us, meeting at the table means nourishment, encouragement, community building, and idea sharing. That's the spirit we strive to foster.
