Welcome Corps: Private Sponsorship of Refugees Comes to America | LIVE STREAM
Enabling Americans to privately sponsor refugees seeking freedom and safety through the Welcome Corps is the boldest innovation in refugee resettlement in the US since its inception—and it is primed to expand. Modeled after Canada’s long-standing and successful sponsorship program, the Welcome Corps draws on the promise of private-sector engagement to welcome and integrate allies and those most in need.
AEI’s Stan Veuger and Niskanen Center’s Denise Bell welcome Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Sarah Cross, Aerlande Wontamo of World Relief, and Jennifer Bond of the University of Ottawa Refugee Hub for a conversation about Americans’ interest in sponsoring refugees and the role private sponsorship can play in meeting global humanitarian needs.
