Via Welcome Corps, groups with as few as five members can apply to help refugees resettle in the US.
Americans apply. A major difference between Welcome Corps and previous private sponsorship initiatives is that it is a permanent program and will bring people into the US on refugee status rather than humanitarian “parole,” which will create a pathway for them to attain citizenship after five years.
In mid-2023, Welcome Corps will roll out a second phase in which sponsors can identify or name a person to be considered for the program. This will allow family members to sponsor those still in their home country and pave the way for affinity groups, like those in the LGBTQ+ community, to help those who are facing persecution in other countries.
“We’re sitting on a sleeping giant, and that sleeping giant is the capacity and the generosity of the American people,” Ash says. “If we tap into that, we’re going to be able to do so much more than our government systems can do alone.”
