Welcome Corps: Info Session for the Karen Community

We have been receiving many questions from the community about the new Welcome Corps program, launched by the U.S. Department of State in early 2023.

From the Welcome Corps website: “The Welcome Corps is a program of the U.S. Department of State that empowers everyday Americans to welcome refugees arriving through the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program (USRAP).”

As we continue to learn more about this new program, we have invited representatives from the Minnesota Department of Human Services and Alight to provide an information session about Welcome Corps to our community. They will give an overview of the program, talk about Alight’s role in supporting refugee sponsors, and have plenty of time for Q&A. There will be Karen interpreters at the event.

Please share this information session widely with members of the Karen community so they can learn about this program and ask any questions they may have.
