Welcoming Week: Creating Home Together

Welcoming Week is September 12th-20th and we’re ready to help you plan how you’d like to participate! Each year, Welcoming Week is a chance for neighbors — both immigrants and U.S.-born residents — to come together, get to know one another, and celebrate what unites us as a community.

This year’s theme for Welcoming Week is “Creating Home Together.” Home is not just a house — it’s any place where you feel safe and accepted: in your neighborhood, in your community, or at school or work. In this pandemic, we may be redefining where home is, what makes us feel at home, or how to make home a more inclusive and equal place for all. This Welcoming Week, let’s build home in new ways through virtual spaces, digital sharing, and being together even when we’re apart!
