Engaging new champions

To create a truly welcoming world, we need as many people in the movement as possible. To that end, Welcoming America is working to create access points for new champions to offer their time, resources, and voices.

Often, that means that we seek out individuals and organizations building welcoming in unexpected places. Rural towns and counties, local community foundations, and members of the local school board all can be leaders and have opportunities to demonstrate welcoming values in their work.

By making resources that are accessible, such as through Welcoming Week, we reach millions of people who have the potential to become welcomers.
