Due to the President’s Executive Order on Reevaluating and Realigning United States Foreign Aid, the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration (PRM) directed Refugee Welcome Collective to immediately suspend work as of January 24, 2025. In compliance with this directive, all RWC offerings funded by PRM, such as Lunch and Learn webinars and Sounding Board social learning spaces, are canceled until further notice. Technical assistance booking is also unavailable at this time.

Arrival Meeting Guide

In the initial week after arrival, newcomers and a member of the sponsor team meet to discuss sponsorship goals and decide on important next steps. The Arrival Meeting Guide provides questions common to newcomers and sponsors in the first days after arrival. It also suggests meeting activities such as completing a Sponsorship Plan together and reviewing the calendar of upcoming activities. The guide helps newcomers plan the important goals and activities for the sponsorship.
