Use this toolkit help recruit and inform members of your community and set up a private sponsor group.
Sponsor groups can be formed by friends, neighbors, work colleagues, a congregation, book club members — any group of adults who together meet the requirements: a minimum of five members who are U.S. citizens or permanent residents, who are over the age of 18, and who live in or near the community where the refugee(s) will live.
We welcome you to modify the contents of this toolkit to best suit the needs and resources of your audience.
