Prepare to welcome refugees on your campus. The Welcome Corps on Campus training serves as a baseline for engaging as a private sponsor group.
Participants will receive both in-depth information about providing core private sponsorship services (e.g., housing, benefits and services access, cultural adjustment, etc.) and an overview of how to help facilitate the long-term integration of refugee students. Other topics include key mindsets for sponsors, campus orientation, fundraising, developing a Welcome Plan, and resiliency-building.
At least one member of the private sponsor group must complete the training for application approval; however, all group members are strongly encouraged to participate.
Select “Welcome Corps on Campus” on the last prompt when you register for training.
