Building a nation of Welcomers

Our vision is a nation that builds strong, welcoming communities supported by durable policies and a shared culture of belonging. By mobilizing Americans to welcome newcomers, share their stories, and serve their communities, Welcome.US is transforming how we welcome—and providing solutions that help heal our national divides.

Today, America’s approach to welcoming is broken. Community-led solutions are often sidelined, and migration has been mismanaged 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.
