Community Support

Become Part of the Welcoming Network

Connect to any of these service providers below and ask how you can help. Assisting refugees is truly a community effort. Local agencies are always looking for volunteers who can assist with welcoming families, mentorship, transportation, translation, service coordination and more. Below is a list of New Jersey agencies supporting refugees.

If you are an employer and have jobs available, reach out to your local service provider to connect with their employment assistance staff.  Employers can additionally post available jobs on the national platform Welcome Employment.

Want to do even more?
New federal programs allow individuals and groups to sponsor the arrival of refugees through the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program and take the lead in their integration through the WelcomeCorp program. Learn more at https://welcomecorps.org/.

Individuals and groups can also sponsor Ukrainian Humanitarian Parolees and Cuban, Haitian, Nicaraguan and Venezuelan (CHNV) Supporter-Based Parolees through Welcome.US.  Learn more at https://welcome.us/.
