About

About Refugee Welcome Collective

Refugee Welcome Collective (RWC) is a community sponsorship technical assistance and training provider funded by the Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration (PRM) and other. We aim to improve outcomes for refugees resettled through the U.S. Refugee Admissions program by building capacity and expanding community sponsorship.

RWC collaborates with partners to provide in-depth training programs, knowledge sharing and social learning sessions, multimedia resources, and one-to-one technical assistance for sponsors, community sponsorship staff, refugees paired with sponsors, and community and institutional partners to support quality community sponsorship programs across the United States.

RWC training, technical assistance, learning sessions, and resources are designed based on input from national and local resettlement agencies, sponsors, and refugees paired with sponsors. We work closely with a network of national and local community sponsorship experts to identify priority areas.

Partners
