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.

Transition Meeting Guide

About two weeks before the end of the sponsorship period, newcomers and a member of the sponsor team meet to discuss the goals that they achieved. The Transition Meeting Guide provides questions common to newcomers and sponsors as the newcomers and sponsors move from formal sponsorship to good neighbors. It also suggests meeting activities such as completing a Transition Plan together and reviewing the calendar of activities. The guide helps newcomers and sponsors identify community resources that may be helpful for the newcomer’s goals for their future in the U.S.
