What is Welcoming Week?

Welcoming Week is a national celebration coordinated by Welcoming America and partner organizations. During this annual series of events, communities across the nation bring together immigrants, refugees, and native-born residents to raise awareness of the benefits of welcoming everyone. In 2017, there were more than 700 events around the country.
